The good thing about oem bolts are they tend to stretch first then break, giving you "some" time to notice something weird and switch the engine off, In the unlikely event of an ARP bolt snapping (still happens) they just break thats it, no warning.

you dont need arp bolts for the con rods. turbocharging doesnt't realy increase the stress on them that much. high revs give them the biggest concern and stresses. likewise with the head bolts unless you are running massive boost or areally high c/r then they arn't needed. the main caps will how ever see a bit more stress but once again unless your building a mad engine they would be obver kill.

demon tweeks can supply all arp bolts

whats the actual spec of the engine you are building?
