Default Is there something wrong with my motor... possible ringland?

So i was trying to tune my EBC and it is ogin pretty well but there were a few times where i spiked over my tuned boost limit.. and well over the stock map sensor limit........ now i didnt keep it going i got out of it as soon as i could but now i dunno something seems very fishy...


i pull my car in the garage and pop the hood i plan to check the sparkplugs as usual after i have a day of hard driving... at this time im not suspecting anyting.. the cars drivability is fine and nothing seems too out of the ordinary..

i get the sparkplugs out...

1 and 2 look great as usual... so im thinking this is gonna be cake

i get to 3.. its noticably darker than the other 2... its not wet... i touch the tip nothing comes off on my fingers.....

i get to 4... same thing.. darker.. no wet residue.....

now i usually check my breather on the valve cover after a day like this...
i still have the stock tube on there but of course its not connectd to the charge pipe... its more or less laying on top of ti bc i havent gotten a breather filter or any sort of catch can...usually i check the top of the charge pipe for oil that couldve exited out of the breather.... usually theres nothing.....

i check today and theres a small amount but its not wet... its more like a brown soot.....


i dunno these past few days ive been trying to tune this damn EBC it just hasnt gone wellll i have spiked to 15psi... my car is tuned for 12 and its a stock motor.....on hondata...


are these signs of a ringland breaking? or am i being paranoid...
