I was using chrome moly piston rings and never had any problem, but then again I never ran quite as much boost as you did.
There is no such thing as chrome moly. There is either:
Plasma-sprayed moly over a ductile-iron base OR
chrome faced.
Thats what 2 guys from Total Seal told me. I believe them.
I have LOTS of writeups on rings if anyone wants to read them.

Damn, hopefully my motor doesn't look like that when I pull the heads off. I found metals shavings that looks just like the ones in your cylinder last time I changed my oil.
How was your oil pressure upon destruction?
Not that it was the cause in your case, but in a different type of motor I have scene that exact problem when an oil squirter got plugged. Of course we don't have squirters but you get the idea.
