This right away makes me think you shattered a seal and sent it into the turbo.

+studdering and studdering vacuum numbers as you fire 4 out of 6 firing chambers. And I'll reason that on those remaining chambers you can still get some boost once you rev up, but the power is being lost pulling around the 2 dead chambers on one of the rotors.

Were you stressing the motor any when it happend?

eh..... about 10-15 psi and about 6k rpms... but after the pop the car ran really shitty......... after many many hours of tuning on the pfc it only gets worse... but the car will still run... when i get it started... so thats what you think it is?..... i though it could be something wrong with the profec b

It is very clear to me that you blew your motor. That's too bad. I hope you can get it running again soon and learn from your mistake (aggressive tuning?).
