and what we are all saying is no one has gotten close to 20k at 550 torque, at least no one who actually gets it into boost for more than a few seconds a week. and thinking that spending more money on your kit will make it last longer is wrong, by spending more money you got a higher and sooner torque peak which is just going to make the block problem worse. While not having mistakes like a poorly setup used boost controller that over speeds the turbos to ~40 psi for a little bit will make it last longer, they still havent invented te magic pixie dust that keeps your stock rods from fatigue stressing, and bending.
