Blog Title: Project Pile - 90 Talon Tsi AWD
Well here goes the start of another project... This time a 1990
Tsi AWD & My first DSM. I Paid $500 For it. Agood amount of money was dumped into the drive train. Eprom ECU with custom chip (plus two other chips with unknown profiles). 550cc injectors EVO III 6 bolt short block, tubular exhaust manifold (wrapped), 16G w/EVO III o2 housing, Megan downpipe.
Rebuilt 5 speed with replaced syncros & Quaife center diff. Light weight flywheel and performance clutch was told clutch is an ACT 6 Puck(didn't have receipt for it or flywheel) but boy does it grab.

Inside looked like was used for trash can as two bags of trash removed.(found outer piece of spoiler among trash
