Rolf,

How many 1.8T's have you actually seen explode due to
a rod failure?  So far I've seen zero, nada, zippo.
Neither has Shine Racing.

My A4 has a K04 and runs a solid 235hp and 265 ft lbs
of torque and has been doing so for over 40k miles.  I
have no issues with it at all.  Runs great, always
starts and performs flawlessly at the track.

Yes, VW/Audi added a second intercooler and
strengthened the rods on the 225hp TT engine, but so
the 150hp motor seems plenty robust.

Scott, remember that the A4 is running a far more
sophisticated engine control, if the motor detects
*any* detonation is has the power (and will!) to pull
back boost and timing.  If your students Stage 3 A4
was still running 25psi in the heat, that means the
computer was happy enough to let it do so...
