Microsquirt v2.2 cooked.

Microsquirt v2.2 cooked.
2000 miata LS 60k miles with IAT mod and NGK powerdex and a 94 alternator.
thats it for mods.
after about 3 days of the car running great on megasquirt, merging on to the highway i started to experience power loss, so i pulled off and the car started just billowing white smoke.
of course i thought, oh no my head gasket. but given the mileage, the fact i'm not losing coolant, my coolant isnt bubbling, and my compression is good i certainly ruled that out.
next i tested for spark. i am getting no spark in 4, but i am getting it in 1. its intermittent so i replaced coil pack, plugs, wires, nothing. with the output test mode i could get coil b and d to click, but not spark and that was it.
so i pulled out my brain and this is what i found smelled before even opening it.
any ideas?

well, here is what has been concluded:
nothing really.
alright well.... idk, tunelife is a trial and error sort of thing.
DIYautotune was curious about my alternator setup, thinking the short could have come from that setup. the car was running for about a week fine before it blew that drive transistor.
i used a 94-95 alternator that self regulates voltage. it was charging fine, we had the dash light working properly as well.
DIY assumed it as a defective resistor and warrantied out the board. it will be here next week or so.
i plan to install my 650cc injectors even though i am not turbo yet.
Custom Fiveo 026IMP650X are the injectors i got off of Custom OEM Fuel Injectors from FiveOMotorsport
idk. here we go. i'm just praying i dont have the same issue again and its something wrong with my car causing this. i pray pray pray that it was indeed a defective drive transistor.
