motor is gone, questions
should i just park it now or drive it for a couple more days. #3 is at 40psi. will this harm the turbo and sensors?
should i rebuild my motor or buy a new one????? what would be cheaper?

I drove 850 miles home from Virginia to Chicago with a #3 cylinder with similar compression. YMMV
You might score up the cylinder walls with cracked ringlands and such. I was lucky and did not.
Depends on the motor, but if you have any B series I'd definitely rebuild with forged pistons. I don't know what I'd do if I had a D.
