Also, what kind of fuel where you using while putzing around track? These Motronics wake up a bit with 96oct aki (US). I think that’s 99/100 Ron elsewhere. I ask because detonation can do wonders on the lower assembly.....
For as many times as I've seen this thread and others about this car, I somehow never noticed this car was a tiptronic. I only noticed it because of the speedo gauge, lol. Then I actually looked at the shifter, followed by the pedals. Guess I've always been fixated on the exterior and exhaust setup.
Just found this in my collection of writeups. Not sure if it helps but who knows ...
5. Es gibt laut Leitfaden drei Baustände des Pleuels. Der erste abgespeckte Baustand geht bis Motornummer 63 S 02521. Der Baustand 2 bis 63 S 05848. Ab Modelljahr 96 wurden im Baustand 3 die Pleuel des Turbo verwendet. Bei Baustand 1 gab es mehrere bekannte Pleuel-Abrisse bei Leistungssteigerung und/oder hohen Dauerdrehzahlen. (Behebung Sauteuer)
quick translate:
5. According to the guidelines, there are three construction stages of the connecting rod. The first slimmed-down construction stage goes up to engine number 63 S 02521. Construction stage 2 to 63 S 05848. From model year 96, the connecting rods of the turbo were used in construction stage 3. In construction stage 1, there were several known torn-off connecting rods in case of power increase and / or high continuous reffing. (Remedy freaking expensive)
Should have read this earlier ....
After getting a pm from a member, I conducted a search on this forum and found only two entries from a 96 and your 95 about a broken rod/bolt. Oddly, most manufacturers will choose to allocate a single source of a specific part for a set of engines regardless of the intended use for cost/overhead savings. For example, in the latter motors, the rods were upgraded for Turbo use. Those vehicles didn’t come out till the 96 year. I’ll read a thread about the 95RS 3.8 rod specs shortly again for part number....
My point being, I wonder under which stressors caused Porsche to upgrade or was it simply because the Turbo was coming online. The lighter rods for the NA motors is more than up for the task. The issue is the bolts for all years. Less reciprocating mass helps with longevity and rotational speed. All things to consider.

Surprise, Surprise
It was specifically mentioned HERE

I’m sure there are a few more that aren’t posted ...
I heard it first from my engine builder, but beside the above mentioned statement, I couldn't find any more information on that.
