ok so this is what my plugs look like. Doesnt look nearly as white as the turbo blades more a light brown. Still looks a little lean to me but I have put the standard airbox and snorkel back in and Ill check them again in a week.

what do you guys think, lean?

See the sparkly bits all over the insulator and cathode? That's aluminium - or bits of your motor that came off when its been detonating.

Holy shite... Its a good thing that its caught now rather than later...
Exploded Piston = Bad

Get a compression test also to make sure your piston ring lands aren't already busted. The amount of black slick residue on the turbo housing and plug outer ring means you might be getting excess oil blow-by going past your possibly damaged rings.


Put the stock air box on first with a new AFM and change the plugs. Then dyno it with a wide band O2 sensor.

Baby your car until you resolve this problem
