That seems like a great starting point...I’m getting an exhaust gasket coming my way and will pull the turbo and manifold off and take a look. I also ordered a bore scope and will do what I can to post pictures. I appreciate the help and feedback...my thought was honestly that the bottom end was hurt.
I am hoping to have some time next weekend to get this little chore completed with Easter it may be another weekend but none the less I will post my results once I have them.

You have forged pistons, and the bore surface is very strong. Unless you're microwelding the rings, or broke a ring land, there should not be any bottom end problems. A few people have mistaken burned exhaust valves for cylinder ring issues including myself and some others recently.
I will be pulling the turbo manifold off next and taking a look at the valves themselves in the few weeks and will be reporting back with my findings.
