Wow man crazy. I wouldn't even know where to start if I had to part out my car.
I'm glad I got to check out your car at Uconn though. That thing was beautiful. This is Matt, asian kid with the built TT g35 at Uconn that you talked to.

Start the car and warm it up.. take off the oil fill cap. Check to see if you see any smoke. Put your hand over the oil fill cap and see if you feel pressure/pulse.

After that, do a compression test. While the plugs are out check each tip for oil/crap. Should confirm everything.

Does the car run? like still have power? Maybe you just cracked open one of the manifolds. Highly possible since the Greddy ones are sh#t.

You can do a quick check on the Utec or EMS too. I remember when my EMS, Utec then Haltech was not fully grounded or connected it would make the ecu dump lots of fuel.

Usually a blown block is not as dramatic as people describe it to be. Usually it's just a pop and dead motor after that. No explosion, oil, rods flying etc

Don't give up too soon!!

The car won't even start. It cranks, but it sounds like a mix of glass shattering/ripping/banging, etc. It's a very loud & awful noise that's hard to describe. Maybe I'll make a quick vid later today.

Damn Jon! Nicest Redline I have ever seen for sure. Sucks that this happened especially with such low miles. Maybe it is time for a change. Get something new and go crazy with that instead. I saw you got it done at Performance...wtf happened to them?

PS I will get back to you on that insurance, ridiculously busy lately. Still have your number.

I could just get a stock block, keep the Greddy kit and get a retune, but then I'll forever regret the downgrade. I know myself too well.

I dunno about that. I love my car as it is (stock block). It'd be great with more power, but you can still have plenty of fun stock blockin' it.

Depending on what is salvagable from the motor...5-6k it would be up and boosting. a new engine is 3-4k so the price walk is not too huge

Sorry to hear OP. Do you have pics of your car? I'm just curious to see what all the regional locals are raving about.

I've run NA before... wanted more, so then came Turbonetics... wanted more, so then came JWT TT's... wanted more, so then came shipping the car to PF to get a Greddy TT build.

I know myself man, I won't be content. I can't get the go big or go home attitude out of my system.
