Stock crank is forged steel, and is very strong.

The stock rods are forged steel, and are shot peened from the factory.

The pistons are hypereutectic cast aluminium, and are generally regarded as the weakest link. Some people run 15psi on them with impeccable tunes, but many have failed with far less boost, probably because of detonation or lean conditions.

See our forum section for turbo KA24's for more in-depth details. Start with the sticky threads!
