The car was not spared the rod at all and it is still getting the same treatment.

Just amazed me that nothing went bang with all the stories of the early 257's giving way under stress. Might just be a freak engine.

its a pewny turbo and so only making around 200kw atw.. no stress at all. most ppl that have gone bang have much larger turbos ive seen..
