Have people been running the T5-R setup at 300bhp with no trouble?
The reason being is I am thinking of aiming for a slightly higher power figure, my main concern is the transmission!i know the rods need changing around 350bhp but I am wondering how much the transmission will handle up to that...

Torque is the problem, not bhp. I believe the R clutch is good for 400lb/ft but not 100% on that number.
M90 will be fine at that power, I'd do the 3rd gear synchro mod just in case.
