I mean you're pushing 450nm...

As has been stated, I`m currently running forged internals BUT, I reliably ran around 440-450Nm on the standard engine (with 19T) for over a year so all I can say is its down to th way the car is tuned and just as important is the maintenance. Joules` car is running close to or over 500Nm on a standard engine too so it is possible. IMO, its all about how the car is mapped (driveability with an MTE is superb as its very progressive) plus you need the hardware to be able to make good, sustained power, whilst maintaining a safe AFR.
