earlier that same day before this happened i did a compression test...and got 135 in all 4 cylinders...
i pulled the ECU fuse in the engine bay to do the compression test...would that have caused an issue?

and my UICP popped off that day too...right at the throttle body...after i had everything back together and i already hit full boost multiple times...

it seemed like a bad day for my car.

I would be worried about the tip of the electrode rattling around inside the cylinder. Time to pull the head!

No the electrode tip it gone--- looks like detonation to snap that tip off.
