Rods are the weakest link in the standard motor.

If all the correct supporting mods are in place, and the motor is mapped det free, then it should be good for 350ftlb

UK cars:-

MY94-96, 208bhp / 201lb ft
MY97/98, 208bhp / 214lb ft
MY99/00, 215bhp / 214lb ft

I think the Catalunya is a MY97 (with the 1st "ph.1.5" facelift), so it has a bit of extra torque (+13lb ft) when compared to the earliest MY94-96 cars.

Unless I've missed something in an earlier post you will also need a turbo upgrade.

That's what I was thinking.

And injectors,ecu upgrade, exhaust, panel filter etc, this is where it starts getting. Expensive, oh and a vf35 will suit your needs perfectly (or a td05 16g or vf34)
