Icon3 tuned my car and it just died on the way home! please help!

okay so for background info... its a 98 ek sedan, it has a chipped p28 that JUST got tuned, its a jdm sohc zc obd2 non vtec motor (bought with warranty from a shop last week) its on 9 psi of ebay boost (turbo being replaced ASAP like next week) and tuned on e85.

i took it to get tuned and everything went fine


that weird noise is my tires begging for alignment (coming soon as well)


so once were done the tuner explained that its soon time to replace the turbo and to baby the car, he took me for a spin and showed me that it had smooth driveability and then the also showed me that it made power.

after that i was taking it home and mid-drive it just died out on me while in 5th gear. i downshifted out of habit to get more power but there was none, (my battery light came on) i downshifted again and it turned on but stuttered out. i pulled out of traffic and its strange, the starter makes a strange whine but it IS cranking the engine but i dont hear puffs of exhaust being made, it might be spinning faster than it should.

things ill check tomorrow is timing belt besides that no clue. opinions please?
