All the cars have the m46 currently. The 244 will be getting a T5 transmission and a bigger turbo HX35 or HY35.
I haven't seen any failures in the rods or Pistons. It's said that the factory rods don't like boost in the lower rpm range but I don't know from experience, it could of been the failures occurred because of timing too advanced.
I wouldn't be afraid of using a completely stock components D24T with studs and port work with compounds on it and get it to boost 10lbs by 1200rpm and getting a max boost of 35/40 lbs.
Large air to air intercooler is all that's needed, if it's in a 7xx or 9xx car there's lots of room for one.
A small shot of propane when in full boost/ full fuel would be a neat idea. I have thought about it numerous times.
