So the STS finally took it's toll on my engine. Lost the #3 piston on the dyno. 
I had to rent a car to drive the 7 hours home. But it took Marty and I awhile to find a rental place that was open. Not positive on what happened to the piston. We did lots of dyno runs and had the A/F nice and steady. We did one last run to check for a transmission leak (didn't have one) and at the end there was a Boost spike around 8 psi. I don't know for sure cause once I heard the marbles in the trash can sound I knew my engine was damaged. At that point I didn't really care what caused it, I was just in shock that I just lost my engine. Still feeling a little numb just thinking about it. Anyways I have to wait till Monday/Tuesday to see how much damage was actually done. Now I have to figure out what to do. Best I can tell right now I have 3 choices.
1. Do a bandaid fix with replacement stock internals, remove the turbo and trade the truck in.
2. Put in forged internals and keep the turbo on.
3. Stock internals and remove the turbo. I will just go back to being N/A.
The biggest factor at this point is $$$$. Almost can't afford to keep the truck but can't afford to sell it either. Just have to wait and see what the damage is. Anyone have any suggestions on what else I could do?
