Contrary to popular belief, it is not just the torque that kills the rods, I have files that make well in excess of 500 puonds of torque and have been running stock internals (GT28RS-71R Eliminator big turbo) since 2004.
Pre-ignition (detonation) is what kills the rods...

since when do elims, or ANY gt28 turbo make anything over 400ftlbs? A bad tune is a given btw. There is no way a stock 1.8t rod is going to hold that power for more than a dyno run or 2. You might want to stop filling peoples head with this kind of info and prevent them from blowing holes in there block.

yeah when i put my gt28 in all im changing is rods. i was told anything over 300hp or 300lb/ft shoud replace the rods. you dont need to do that much more to it until you go BAT. taking apart the top end is not as big of a job as a whole motor build. if your doing a whole motor build theres a lot more you can change...and it would be a bit of a waist of money to rebuild the motor for a gt28. hope that helps a little.

The only gt28 series turbo that needs rods is the 2871r. The rest will be fine with a good tune and boost control. You can even run a 2871r with pump gas and stock engine also. Its when you start maxing out the turbo when you need the rods.
