John, get off the high horse and let us get the complete lowdown on your complete set-up.
I hate to break the news to you, but you are in the same boat as me. I rebuilt my engine TWICE before I realized that detonation was the culprit. You have to remember that your ECM is going to autamatically pull timing with detonation, thereby masking it.
You have a 1BAR MAP, this means that your ECM can only read potentially up to 14.7PSI ABSOLUTE PRESSURE! That is one atmosphere at sea level, when you add boost over 0PSIG (guage pressure) your ECM is no longer adding fuel to compensate. You would have been better off raising your FP then trying to tune when you can't read past 0PSIG (stock MAP's actually can't read that accurately even). It sounds like you were tuning for RPM only in your BIN files, but who am I?
Those pistons in your car in the pics look like they have at least 20k miles on them, how do I know - because I have had more than one 660 completely apart and can see th wear patterns of these motors (especially gen1's).
You had detonation causing one of the cylinders to detonate, in turn causing your failure. I have been in the same boat as you, but my car could be heard in the kitchen while my wife ws doing dishes, from down the road. I got home with a running/knocking engine and she simply says to me "That didn't sound too good" in an innocent fassion.
I'm not going to sit here and flame you, but it's your own mistake - so take it like a man and get back on the horse with the newfound data you have obtained from your experience, and do it right this time.
If I were you, I would kick your "mechanic" to the curb and start collecting some tools to do the job the only way it's goin to be right - "By yourself".
My $.02 take it of leave it, but if you think you are going to now turbo another stock motor and be any fast, you are fooling yourself. Another motor is going to bite the dust if improper tuning is an issue.
