cygnusx1 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 There was a fairly heated argument thread about this about 6 months ago. Try searching for turbo connecting rods. Something about bead blasting or shot peening being the difference but I don't remember....search it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
