Just an FYI for serious mods

[OutDriveU]

My buddy builds engines at sunbelt(formerly OPM Motorsports),
http://www.sunbeltperformance.com/index.html

for the world challenge proteges; which are pulling 240hp with no turbo BTW. Anyway he was telling me if you start running big boost 14+ that you need to beef up the rods as they are the weak link in the engine.

Just thought you guys should know.

WELCOME TO LAST YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(rofl)

Thanks for the warning but it has been kindof common knowledge, About 10 PSI from a t3 is too much. Not to mention more then 10 PSI with the stock MSP and you will be knocking anyways, then the rods don't mean dick, your eventualy F-D. Well this is according to turboge's tests.

I highly doubt everyone on this forum knew that. (stupid)

I for one bought my car a week ago and didnt know jack about proteges and im sure many others are the same way so when i heard this i thought id be helpful but since you guys are acting like im stupid then I will refrain from anymore "helpful" info on this board in the future.

Just trying to help
