Bad news: Took one last drive tonight to see if it hold up in 4th. Held 15lbs to 8600rpm... then cruised along, pulled off the highway to go home and it was running on 3 cylinders. Air fuel in boost was holding 11.9-12.1 ( aem wideband) so either the injector quit working or the sensor is bad. There's Lots and lots of smoke pouring out of my catchcan and dipstick. Vitals on Kpro showed perfect. 190 degree temperature, -21.5 vacuum at idle, 13.9afr at idle. So what gives? Number 2 spark plug is missing the electrode, so it got pretty hot. My guess, metled a hole in the piston or valve.
Oh well. Ill take the head off next week sometime and post some pictures. :P
