Trouble is mine being a 2.1 produces a fair amount of torque.around 330lbs and think thats half the problem. Now iirc the big power nms car and even stuart collins one are still on a 1.6 so they can get away with a cts stage 2 or 2+ and most of the time they seem ok.

The Fiesta ST uses an IB5 with a bigger 62mm mainshaft bearing as opposed to the 55mm in other IB5's. Saying that just done a ST box with a broken mainshaft so bearings not the only problems out there.
