Who tunes the car?

Your next move should definitely be pulling the DP off and taking a look.

would I be able to tell if I take the intake mani out or going thru the dp is better? It's funny I ordered a sandblaster last week to clean carbon out anyway.

I'm going to take the DP off this weekend, I turned the car on for a few seconds I did a datalog if that helps, and also there was 3 codes when I scanned it.

Same codes I had when I broke a plug. You have one or two deactivated cylinders due to misfires. Since you ran the engine and definitely had the tip disappear somewhere, I'd get a leakdown test and be prepared for at least a teardown/inspection.

It's fuckin' wild something so small can do so much damage.

I know, it's awful, seems like I'm going for a teardown this weekend after checking turbo blades first, is there something I should upgrade or get done while im at it besides cleaning carbon build up? Also this is my first time taking it apart, do I need any special tools?

It's all going to depend on the damage to that piston.
