its on e85. i managed to upload the log. it was a pain to figure it out. not friendly at all...
the clamp wasn't tight on the coupler under the turbo... it popped off on the first pull.. didn't notice until after session when it logged 10psi. tuner thought 10psi was wastegate, so he upped boost to make 24psi, i then fixed the coupler. and since he upped it to 24 and the boost leak was fixed.. it spiked to 42. i didn't tell him about the coupler popping off cause im an idiot and missed it. hopefully you can read the log. lmk

I wouldn't trust that piston anymore, at the very least it needs to come out and polish out those divots/sharp edges from the bits bouncing around and inspect the rod bearing and crank.
I would sit down with the tuner and discuss all the modifications and your expectations the car. Sounds like you had a major disconnect while going through the tuning process which lead to a faild engine. The tuner should have had safeties setup and you shouldn't have been driving like you were when it failed. This situation was completely avoidable.
