You have no luck, Tom. This is all because of a fluke-*** spark plug failure, right? Sorry, mang.

Ahahah thanks bb, i was looking at those earlier. Yes its from the spark plug.

I will be ordering something tonight because next weekend i have 1000mi to drive. this credit card is gonna get a workout this week...again. Looks like im gonna end up getting a t3/t04e 57 trim .63 a/r which should make around 350whp at 22psi on pump gas. i will hafta cut the t25 flange off my manifold and weld on a t3 flange, i will hafta weld in a tube for an external wastegate, buy a 38mm wastegate and do the plumbing for that. I will hafta change the oil inlet and ,maybe the outlet fittings, and I will need to build anothe downpipe. I just built this one last thursday...AAAHHHHHHHHHHH
