I think it's more about how the torque is spread out the rev range as it's the torque that bends your rods.  :evilgrin:

What turbo you thinking? If it's the Ko4 realisticly they are good for 320-330 ish bhp. The engine is well able for that. I'm running that power the last 50ish k with no problems at all.

James, try the SEARCH. This is a frequent question.
There's already so much information on this board.
