What happened?

[Tortoise]

So i blew up my a3 about 5 months ago. Was gettin on it in second and it just shut off. Car was misfiring bad and at every stoplight it would shut off. Had to give the car tons of gas to get it restarted.Got it home and checked the coils and plugs and that wasnt the problem so i took off the valvecover and took the cams out. Found that one valvespring wasnt seated and it had a cracked retainer. Car had intake shorty header exhaust and hondata reflash. What do u guys think happened? Im guessing my car just didnt like the extra revs from the reflash. Im doin an a1 swap but do you guys think my bottomend is shot? I only had compression in 2 cylinders and the other 2 werent great.
