Never seen an engine blow like that before. You can see a slight spark at the manifold right before it happens. Alky? Meth???

Not sure it was the motor.....looks like a line went....maybe coolant line going to the turbo. That was crazy. LOL. It was too silent for a bottom end......trust me I know

Looks like something mechanical failed (the spark you see) and whatever it was hit the upper radiator hose.

Looks like hot coolant went everywhere in the money shot. Hopefully the guy standing beside the evo didn't suffer any serious burns.

look like it blew the head gasket which led to the boost leaking into the coolant system which leads to the radiator blowing

I've had a good bit of wine tonight, maybe the combination of some detonation and a slightly leaky exhaust mani gasket that eventually led to mass failure.
