Thanks every one:hug: yea i kind of look at it this way it lasted 40,000 miles longer then any one said it would. put it through hell tested alot of diffrent things and got my fastest run out of it when it blew. Im glad i was at least raceing when it went. 
we got it over to jasons thanks again buddy and took the intake tube off and checked the turbo. I found out one thing my turbo wasent blown but its been hitting the houseing. its all chewed up and the blades on the end are as well we also checked the balance rates ant there really not tht bad 2 cylinders are 4-5 the rest are pretty good i would of thuought with a broke pisto they would be high but hopefully will get it out this weekend and see wht hapeend hopefully have something back in it within 3 weeks. thts the only bad thing about haveing your race truck as your work truck to. Oh yea this proves one thing Lift pumps really do crack pistons LOL

Yah we got to my house like at mignight unloaded the trailer and started scratching our heads. Tommy checked his balance rates and two were only at like 4/5 injectors 7 and 8. So I first thought that it was his turbo since it was still running pretty smooth just burning a lot of oil. So we just pulled the intake off and saw that the comp wheel had been hitting the housing and when tommy tried spinning it by hand with putting very little pressure on it, it would bind from hitting? Oh well. It will be apart soon
