IF you have it running and are driving it, what do you care what anyone says?

If you search you will see that some have run that for a while, but you WILL be rebuilding soon.

Stock rods can take around 13 pounds for a while.

I am so tired of hearing about shops that work on 1000hp supras. Do you honestly think that means anything?

On a stock bottom end the weak part is not the rods, its the piston ring lands. At 10 psi on a garrett t3/t4 turbo you will break the ring lands in time. I dont care how much 1000hp dyno tungi you have.

Here is another interesting point. Hahn never used a garrett t3/t4 turbo. Hahn uses mitsu based turbos if you have a true hahn stage 2 kit. running 10Psi on a 16g (which is what comes with a hahn stage 1 or 2 or 3) is much safer than many t3/t4's depending on compressor trim.

Call me a jackass one more time and your going to find it hard to log in to a site you are banned from. You asked for an answer and you have one. Dont like it? Go back to tuners so i can give you the same answer there.
