New Turbo Talon....what is best for it?

[EagleTalonTim]

I just bought an automatic AWD 93 turbo talon and just got it running today Car only cost $300 and dropped another $300 in parts for the head. (had 2 bent valves) I am wanting to know what would be the best upgrades for starters. I currently own another 5 speed 2.0 n/t talon and have done just about all I can afford to it, but now I want to sell it, get a car for my girl and work on the new one.

Thanks for the help in advance!

One other thing....the boost gauge on the dash is not working. any ideas what may cause that? It runs just fine...just no indication of boost. It does appear to run pretty rich at WOT. CEL is off too.

First get an aftermarket boost gauge. Then get some kind of intake. Then get an exhaust, and you should be on your way. Check the upgrade path for more info.

where can i find the upgrade path? And what is a good intake system that does not cost an arm and a leg?

Look on the front page of dsmtuners on the top left hand corner.

Read the upgrade path first. That will give you an idea of what all is involved. After you read that, you'll know a bit more about your options, and you can ask more specific questions. Before you do, you might want to search around first. I'd bet that every question you'd ask has been answered more than once (some common questions have been answered literally hundreds of times). The FAQ on this site is also a good read. If you can't find your answers, ask away!

Thank you much one more question. i noticed that the oil pressure on the dash is really low. could this be a faulty gauge or bad cam caps? the oil pressure in the valve cover seemed just fine to me.
