There was a good tech article on the LLT that talked about the internals... it's should be around here some where..
What Scrming said, he's usually right!

Exactly. They have forged rods and crank. The pistons are high-silicon alum., but so are most of the FI cars from the factory these days. Until you there is a solution for the fueling issue, you can't safely run enough boost to make it a concern. If you do go big boost you will probably want to get better rods, rod bolts and forged pistons that will lower the compression ratio.

Here's a wiki page with some of the specifics of the engine.
