Icon2 What does this mean? Help

I've just got my d16 turbo tuned last night at 8psi. During the tune I used one of the other costumer's spark plug and spark plug wires. On the way home I decided to use the mines; therefore, motor started bogging. The results were oil spilling from the valve cover when I got home. I just did the compression test this afternoon and found out that there are a head gasket leak and oil in cylinder no. 3 with low numbers. This is a homemade turbo set up with a t25 turbo from an dsm gen 2. I didn't think I would go as far as ARP head studs so I left it stock. Would could be wrong? Now, the car still starts and drive but with a really bad bog.

Sounds like you popped a headgasket. Should have went with ARP head studs.
