hopefully, it's nothing so you can sell the stock turbo and use it to help pay for the red

try it a third time and see if the numbers from the second run match. If so, then you're ok. That first run does indicate something happening in cylinder 2. If anything, it sounds like a valve may have suffered a little damage. If you can perform a leak-down check for cylinder 2, this would be a more accurate measurement of cylinder integrity. Make sure that cylinder 2 is a Top Dead Center to do this. Once the cylinder is pressurized, listen for hissing. You can also. If you don't have a leak-down tester, take the car to a garage that does have one and ask for a leak-down test

You can also build your own leak-down tester

also what is easiest way to check my turbo exhaust side wheel for damage.

Also how much play is acceptable.

Any other suggestions to figure out what is damaged would be greatly appreciated this is my DD

I've seen this a million times on race bikes, 4G63's, honda's, etc. Its not really a big deal at all. 90% of the time the motor just spits it out without harming the exhaust valve, and the fan blade on the turbo takes a little nick. No biggy. I doubt the compression loss you are seeing is due to the broken plug. NO the plug tip is NOT still in your engine lol.

Aren't you the guy who just ripped off another member by sending him a glove and a garage door roller in an aem ems box?

I would say the spark plug issue is prolly the least of your worries
