Aside from the pesky #2 rod bearing, the bottom end of these engines is incredibly durable. Rods, pistons, and crank are all forged on Turbos from what I've been able to tell. Some say that the later turbos use cast pistons, but I've never been able to verify that. There seems to be a big disagreement over that question.
