Hi,


I got the head tore down and it is pretty obvious that the previous owner used the cheapest fuel she could buy.

I believe that detonation damaged the valve during boost. This is how the piece was able to exit the engine through the wastegate. There was no engine damage other then the fractured valve.

Please don´t hesitate to ask any questions!
