I give my T5 loads of stick (for over 2 years now), it now has a Rica remapped ecu which boosts off the end of the boost gauge and 110K on the clock, I have had no problems. Are bent rods mainly due to misfires or the map being too agressive at bottom end? Maybe using a MBC is the problem? I am hoping that my t5 lump will go on for a few years yet if well maintained, surely these engine can take 300bhp if set up right?

The only reason i am mentioning this is because i dont want this to happen to mine. Very bad luck Niles if HT leads caused your engine to get damaged........bummer

Really, really sorry to hear your bad news Niles,

I have had exactly the same happen to me last year, and it sucks!!!!

Hope you get, whatever your plans are, sorted soon, and keep the boost down below 17psi mate.

All the very best pal.

Dam, sorry to hear that Niles.

I must admit, although I'm only touching 1.1 bar, I've been getting away with far too long (after our Gatwick trip!) and 200k is not far away! Once I eventually move back south, I plan to give her a heart transplant and man box!

Hope you get her sorted mate.

Thanks woodster. Sad I know but heyho things happen & never mind eh? I'm still tempted to get some upgraded rods But the work involved scares me as I've never changed rods on an engine before.

Not too difficult at all, it mainly involves lots of motivation and patience!!! If I ever get to that stage, I'll go the whole hog whilst it's in bits! Goodluck buddy.
