Default Think i hurt my motor : (

Well I'm gonna try to keep this short and want yalls opinions. About a week ago I was doing a little tuning for the meth and dumbass inpatient me I was doing it with about 1/4 tank of gas. I was rolling into boost (9-10 psi) in 3rd gear. Not slamming the pedal or anything and it was running strong as hell but I guess the low fuel sloshed around enough to drop the fuel pressure and I went lean for just a second at 167kpa. I heard the change in tone in the motor and I let off immediately. I was like oh **** I blew it up but I kept driving and seemed fine and throughout the week i kept tuning and it is still runing great. Fast forward to yesterday I was loading tools and tires for a trip to the track. Cranked it up and backed out to the shop and let idle while i was loading stuff. I got in and was pulling away and saw smoke so I parked if and it watched and it was steady bluish smoke coming out. Wtf..... Today I did a compression test and results are 1-160 2-139 3-147 4-155 5-160 6-165 7-160 8-143. So what do you guys think happened and what should I do? Thanx

Also ill add today before I did the test I cranked it up to see if it would smoke some more and it did once up to operating temp and i listened to the motor and could here a light tick around cylinder 2.

Do a leak down test. It better than compression test. Did any of the plugs grounds burn??

Leakdown test, then a teardown. It sounds like you got problems. Probably of the piston flavor.
