Chipped Apex seal was the culprit..
Well the motor gremlin has been found. A chipped apex seal in the front rotor. Goodnews it lodged itself into the rotor housing saving my turbos from damage. The bads news is I need a new rotor housing. $400 as oppose to at least $1000 works for me....Now I can concentrate on the rest of the project.Pictures will be posted in a few weeks!!

Well I was running 12psi on a greddy profec b and a straight through exhaust and a Pettit unlimited ECU..I was getting some boost creep and it would see 14psi sometimes. Also still was using stock intercooler. It happened on a cold night and probably overboosted. Secand gear @WOT and Blam! Detonaton sounds like someone beating a hammer on your engine block.Immediate low and unsteady vac....Holding no compression.G
