Not really matt, tbh connecting rods are a weak point when running higher torque but you don' HAVE TO DO these. But it's something worth thinking about.
Upper hoses are a good one and any other silicone hoses you can. Check out the forge website for engine bay hoses, they make uprated versions of most of the 'prone to fail' hoses.

well done most of the vac hoses done the dv hose and n75 hose will av the tip soon and will get the upper boost hose soon only other hose i can think of doin is the one of the turbo to charge pipe
yea i know the con rods r best to up rate as r prone to bending from high torque il b saving to get them done at some point for peice of mind

yea thought about the 1000 mark for rods and fitting
iv fitted both the dogbone bushs and it vibrates the car bad when pullin away and under under 1500 revs but it stoped the wheel hope and dont spin so easy
i'll probly uprate the bushs at some point when done the other bits i want to do
id like to take the car to a few show this year i know it nothing specal but use to do a few shows with my old focus was gd to do and get to see some othe rawesome cars get a few ideas and tht

If the car is healthy running good fuel, decent spark plugs etc then I'm sure it will mate you've got all the right mods in place for stage 2 at around 290+ bhp now.
Well when I had stage 1 done they thought it was already maps it drove so well and pulled so well only had a filter and cat back on it at the time. Want to do my upper boost pipes and maybe change my catback to something abit louder lol then I'll b thinking about bookin it stage2 will give it a service before as well
