Mileage ...........................................~73,000
turbo ...............................................stock
Intercooler........................................stock
Boost level .......................................unknown
Bov...................................................stock
octane .............................................91 octane California crap
Chips ...............................................Supercraps I mean Superchips
wastegate ........................................stock
boost control ....................................Superchips mbc
A/f monitoring? .................................none
Injectors...........................................stock
detonation monitoring? ......................stock (none)
Head gasket type ..............................original
Intake type .......................................stock
Air filter ...........................................K & N
Oil ...................................................regular dinosaur juice 20w-50
Damage............................................Cracked piston lead to wrist pin retaining clip failure. Wrist pin worked it's way into the cylinder wall ruining block.
Cause...............................................Most likely detonation caused by too much boost with stock fuel setup, poor chip tuning, and the PO unaware of what was going on.

detonation monitoring?.............No
Head gasket type......................original stock
Intake type..............................stock
filter........................................stock
Oil...........................................Castrol 20w50
Damage...................................blown headgasket
Cause......................................too much boost for 17 year old headgasket to handle
