I knew it was inevitable but didn't think it would happen so soon.
Link to my turbo upgrade thread http://http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f75/turbo-upgrade-please-help-30748/index6.html#post265110
Brief background info...a month or so after my turbo upgrade and tune I started experiencing a rough idle after being wot. Not to long after the rough idle i would have a cylinder 2 misfire cel. Talked to my tuner and we got my car idling like a charm.
The second week of August I started having cylinder 2 & 3 misfires and here's my story from there...I was driving to a brunch for work (8/16) and was running behind and I must admit was driving fast/aggressive. Anyways I wasn't paying attention to my tach and bounced off my rev limiter in 4th gear...bad i know I came to a stoplight and she was misfiring like crazy. Fortunately my tuner was in the area and after my work meeting drove over to his shop.
The drive over there was horrible as I started having rod knock as well as my cylinders misfiring every 5 secs. When i made it to Mike's shop he checked it out and told me what I already knew...that it didn't look good at all. Haven't taken the motor apart so don't know exactly what is wrong but thinking its a ringland or rod bearing?
On to the good news ...getting my motor fully built as well as a little drivetrain work and this is what I have so far and want to know what you guys think.

My goal with this thread is to get as much great feedback as possible
