I put HDI rods in my gt2056s 205 making around 150hp. Gaves it dogs abuse for 3000 so far, not a whisper of a problem. Id say stock rods would have given up long ago.
I was in exactly the same position as yourself and very nearly did buy a set of £400 forged rods, but when I contemplated it at the end of the day, £400 is a lot of money for me at least. Addtionally, I was willing to splurge that much on a Dturbo, as much as I love it, at the end of the day its a Dturbo. People look at me like I'm mental for building it in the first place.
