I would recomend going down to NAPA and picking up a new harness assembly. I cant remember which side is which on those plugs, but I think it is the glowplug side that crispied on you. how did the other plug look? they have a kit that replaces the whole kit and kabodle except you need to splice into the wire harness to replace the outside plugs.
Check your glowplugs while you are there to make sure they aren't the culprit and drawing to many amps.

For a minimal fee, I'll send you a good pair of valve cover gaskets and under-cover harness.
The connectors melted due to high resistance, either from oil intrusion or a loss of terminal tension. I wouldn't splice those...... The dealer has what you need. It's not "cheap" but you won't have to worry about it happening again.

Mahaloz guys, I already payed the dealer
 Got every thing back buttoned up, But Im still having BOOST issues ! Manifolds or should I say headers, are good, uppipes so far so good.. biggest mess I notice is the damn CCV leaking , Need to figure something out with that.. but I don't know where to begin to look now, Most the intercooler boots that I can access are pretty darn tight, I notice a little oil residue inside also from the CCV i guess ? How can one test for boost leaks other wise? I've read about caping the intake side of the turbo and pressurizing the system? but still a bit confuse on that..

I googled it for you and the first hit was over at PSN in a thread you started today....HA HA. Looks like you'll get an answer over there.

 I assume its OK to run without the red tube connected to turbo? I was told to unplug and see if I still had turbo problems, and Bam! 26lbs of booosstt which seems fair for my AD codes yeah ?? and also no more CEL, Did get a new set of tunes from Bill, with Upped ICP and timing, But I could set the CEL(not knowing what code) last night no problem, but with the "red tube" removed from the turbo it runs fine, no CEL  can that be related ??
