The carnage is bad enough that it’s hard to say what happened first. Post more pictures of the non mashed plugs. Did you find anything funny external to the engine as you took the car apart? ---

Did you find anything funny external to the engine as you took the car apart? Nah, nothing outisde, but when _whatever_ hit first, it splintered everywhere as when I pulled the intake manifold off it sounded like a maraca. As for the plugs, I’ll see if I still have them. The plug pulling happened on the side of the road in jersey. Not sure if I left them with the car or not. ---

Yikes, at least the turbo is fine… that was the first thing I was thinking of. It’s shitty enough to have to build it all over but when you have to replace external parts because of internal failure it sucks that much more. That was the main reason I didn’t push my car any harder last year. I did not want to buy another turbo. What valvetrain did you have? ---
