Source for 606.962 Forged rods?
Does anyone have a set of (6) 28mm rods available in stock? F-tune is out
I'm looking for a set myself; its a little frustrating. I emailed these guys (who I think might be the supplier), but no reply as of yet.

(02-02-2016, 08:01 AM)m1tch I was tempted to see if anyone wanted to group buy them, but considering the stock turbo rods are really good I don't see an issue with my engine - its probably why there aren't really many aftermarket options for the engine as the OEM parts are so strong.

Hooblah, have you used these rods in a build?

I think this is every bit as good and probably better than Arrow. Apparently quite a following here in the US among the drag racing crowd. Some special alloy developed with Audi.
$1800 sounds fair considering it is a custom forging.
But then again I don't know any examples of bent factory rods in a 606 turbo unless the motor hydro-locked, in which case something is going to break either the rod or the crank or the block. So I would just use the factory item unless cost is no object and you are really pushing the limits.

I have no source or link. But all it would take is a stock rod sent to a machinist. Obviously it's a little more complex than that, but when talking about $500/ rod, I'd think it could be a viable option
Here its a norwegian company

Price is 5190kroner, thats about 600$ or 550€

Definitely pushing the limits on this one; Goran's 8mm superpump on the shelf lying in wait :-). Unless I can get a reply from autoverdi (nothing yet), I will either be bending the stock ones or testing the chinaman rod's mettle......

I'm thinking there is a reason the OM606 is known as "the rod-bender" once you start to get into the HP upper echelons though....

Who calls the om606 the "rod bender"? Are you transplanting a 603?
