One of sets off forged rods are around 720-750 quid, thats what I payed for mine anyway. Which is alot of money, but essential if you want to "push every last pony out of your setup"
It all depends on your setup to much your stressing your engine, you could be stressing the shit out of it with huge EMPs/ EGTS at like 50psi on a td04, making say 190hp, wheras as higher power like 220hp, running a bigger blower / better head / manifolds etc and you wont be stressing it as much....
If im honest, rods aside, you will struggle to make any XUD "reliable" past 200hp, there are so many other problems (cooling system not man enough, cooking the head pre cups getting raped, fuel supply getting raped, oil getting destroyed, clutch problems) etcetetc....If not not worried about making chronic power, then your better off cutting your losses at 180-190hp, because after that, it will just become expensive, and un reliable...
