Interesting thing that s55 holds higher power than n55 which tends to bend rods at lower power level than s55..
I think those bent rods might be tune related rather than hardware. Achieving tuned S55 power on a N55 require going PS2+++ on the turbo which not many do; hence the experience tuning these turbos is less and more mistakes are made. Just a theory
