Bragging rights are nice, but I do this bc I'm a car guy, it's how I unwind.

What intake gasket are you using and is the melted piston melted on the intake valve side?

A vacuum leak under boost will melt piston like that.

That doesn't make any sense ? Wouldn't it be rich if that were the case, less air and more fuel ??

My guess would be a hotter intake charge if that was the case. You(I'm assuming) are using a MAP so it won't lean or richen the fuel like a MAF setup. However your turbo is working harder to maintain boost and going out of it's efficiency range.

I have, we have a set of CP's out of our H22 Drag car that looked identical.
