WHY does Cylinder 4 suck

Why is it that Cylinder 4 seem to go bad on these cars? Since I have a bad cylinder is there anything I should do to make sure it doesn't go bad again?

iirc hahn stated that piston 4 got a tad more air then the rest due to the intake manni design.

Define "went bad". Do you mean the piston ring land cracked?

probably,.
but yeah from talking to Bill at Hahn on the phone the other day, he seems to think it's from cyl 4 getting too much air as compared to the rest, but it seems to be the way the outlet of the s/c is also. Since I went turbo I haven't had any KR issues or any other motor related problems

Dealership talking about overhauling the engine or just getting a new engine. I don't have that kind of money.
