I'll snap some photos
Meanwhile, I contacted bfross, the guy with the vid and he figured his problem out
"Yes I did actually. Turns out I had a boost leak on the vac line going from the boost controller to the wastegate"
We dont have boost controllers... So maybe some kind of Vaccuum Leak? I need a diagram...

i had crazy blowout and my car sounded pretty bad.. not as bad as that video but definitely like a gun shot. turned out I was missing a good portion of the diode on cyl 4's spark plug and all the plugs opened up to like .45+

Done..she's back!!!!!....
You guys ready for this? Put in the new plugs again reduced the gap to 0.32
Still no good....then I replaced the spark plug boots one at a time.. the one on cyclinder 4 was bad.... fixed..

I would also check the gap. It sounds like spark blow out. I gapped mine from .35 - .32 to see what the best fit was and I'm at .32. Not all cars are the same. I thought .35 was fine until I got more boost.
so, if the seals were going then the car would idle rough or high?
At wot, my car did this tonight in high rpms or right after i shifted,loss of power/misfire... so it may be the plugs? they only have like 5k miles on them"
last time i had misfires, it was my purge solenoid that went bad. i could completely blow through it..that was only 1k miles ago
