    A torque problem would probably just result in compression pushing over the top of the gasket. I'm guessing that's probably detonation. Details on your fuel setup and timing? How are you tuning? On the dyno? Wideband?

      Im thinking it was the tune fellas.I didnt have my laptop with me that night and the car was still on the hot air tune.Temps that night were in the 20's so the car made more boost than it should have.I wish I had the laptop with me cause the air was on the money for some good runs,but I hauled ass straight from work to the track and didnt think it would be a problem on such low boost.Just another life lesson learned though

        Doesnt look like it lifted the head. Looks like something else with that gasket missing that much material

          I'm not a mechanic, nor have I ever worked around a trubo motor, but what are the gaps between the cylinder and the piston? Those look uneven, and aren't present in the adjacent cylinders.
