Evo Engine Died...

Looks like your timing belt skipped some teeth. Here is the probable damage to your engine:
1.) You tried to start the engine with no oil in it (bearings are probably all destroyed)
2.) Valves might be crushed due to the skipped teeth on the timing belt (and you trying to start the engine)

I got an call from the dealership and they told me that its an brand new engine but not sure if its going to be the IX...
and if i get aftermarket turbo, they arent going to warranty the engine if something goes wrong...so im not sure if i should go aftermarket or keep stock....

the old turbo is dead also... i need help making choices man..
i have $1000 deductible so i'll have to pay that..the thing is.. all the parts they get is way more expensive because dealership price...
i can get aftermarket turbo and save around $600 with no warranty!
or i can get dealership turbo and pay extra $600 WITH warranty...
they told me if anything goes wrong with the engine by puttin aftermarket turbo in it..im on my own... so i don't know....

Damn I guess it didn't work out too bad for you!! Good to hear your car is running again...but why did you have to pay a deductable? Didn't you get the info on the truck and make him pay? If you made your insurance pay then that is going to cost alot in insurance premium increases...

you make it sounds like its everyone else's fault
first of all let me give you a driving 101
when you driving 50mph you should keep 5 car length 60mph 6 car length and so on
if you had kept your distance when the truck tire blew up you would have enuf time to
move out of the way

it was on a busy high in chicago if you know how it is and the truck was in the fast lane instead of the right lane (slow lane) .. his tire blew and i doubt he noticed it..he didn't stop for me at all so i couldn't get his info so i had to pay deductible
