18500 miles of over 525rwhp on my car. no track use but boosted very hard every day, several times a day. definitely a reliable engine at 525rwhp. I dynoed 524rwhp and turned up the boost 2 weeks later and never turned it back down.

550 at the wheel is about where the limit is ,the rods are going to give before anything else.

If you stay below 550rwhp then you really don't need to worry about TQ.
