Any chance something got sucked up in there or forced in there with the turbo setup? How good of a filter / screen were you using? If I had to guess, I would say that it may have been a small metal fragment that broke free from the flowmaster after it was cut open.

Yep a small piece of slag was prolly the culprit. It's not bad enough to replace the pistons though # 7 looks like it got the worst of it. Fawk what a **** off.

You know I thought the same thing. But there is also pits on the head as well in the exact same locations. I am running 8* timing with the vacuum advance removed on 91 ocatane. So I really doubt it's detonating.

7.5lbs of boost and 91 octane is the best you get in dumb *** canada. I should be alright with putting it back together or no? Do I need new slugs?

Suprised that something could stay in there long enough to do that, and not ruin everything else.
