AUM engine code.
Stock EVS Gearbox.
Single mass uprated flywheel conversion.
Uprated clutch.
Uprated forge actuator with blue spring.
Bailey recirculating dumpvalve
4 bar fuel regulator.
NGK Iridium sparks.
3" High flow Full cat back miltek system.
3 1/2" high flow de-cat.
3" Cold air induction kit.
FMIC capable of 450bhp.

The integrated engineering rods get used alot and seem to be pretty damn good. Not sure what wrist pin size you'll need though for your engine code. Here's the link http://www.jbsautodesigns.co.uk/listing/30/rods
