max handling power on agu rods & pistons

[golf-sib]

Limit is anyone's guess, had a few lads break rods around 260-270lb mark on TT and Audi forums, other have not had any problems. At the end of the day its the torque that kills then especially if its delivered harshly. Stock pistons are quite good. The real question is what are you trying to achieve as this will decide on what will need to be done and how much it will cost. Are you uping the RPM limit, after a certain bhp driveshaft issues become a common issue, then there's the valve-train.

Starting to make sense to me now. Thanks guys.
Thinking about an agu convo on my mk3 anni. I know everyone out there has done it, but i need more power (8v) is nippy and revs really quickly but need more power so not throwing more money at it now..
Just an agu with a front mount, ko4, injectors a good remap and see what i can achieve from it really.
