I think the Goliath issues were (a) a bad batch that was recalled and (b) user error. I confirmed mine was not in the bad batch with XDI.

I can also say you need to be very careful in how you install this. You can't just drop it in. Preload and max travel are important. You have to know your numbers. See my build thread. Granted, I havent started the car yet. But I can see how people get into trouble with this pump.
