We have seen many broken connecting rods in engines even below 400hp, as low as 360 breaking rods. Its not just the HP its also the increased torque load. We recommend replacing the rods for any application pushing beyond 350 hp. Our engineers also race, not just push keys on a computer keyboard. We are making these recommendations based on experience in the industry, we have tuned over 20K vehicles globally and have done many turbo upgrades around the world. We are not here to argue anyone's opinion on what may or may not be possible. Sure there may be a 410 HP vehicle that hasn't broken a rod... But there's the right way to do things and the risky way, I'm not going to try it on my car. We're just passing along valuable information we see fit to share. : )
In other news, engineers are here in AZ, we're fitting a GS with a down pipe and inter-cooler and exhaust system next week. We are going to be putting together some multi-stage tuning and hardware upgrade packages as well. Stay tuned for more info coming shortly! Big things coming for the 2.0T A20NHT, A20NFT and LTG. : )
