Introduce myself...

[No Traction 303]

Hey guys im in the aurora area and i just got a 1990 TSi AWD for a birthday/graduation present. Im definately not a noobie but DSMs are somewhat new to me. My car is currently running rich on 3 cylinders and the transmission just puked on me. I got new plugs because the old ones were fouled but those also got fouled any help is appreciated. This car will eventually turn into a fast ass daily driver probably on e85 and an FP Red. Ill post some pics whenever its cleaned up

Not sure if I would recommend the FP red anymore for the DSM. They are awesome for the EVO, but DSM 60:1s are not all that great. The 60:1 compressor in those are outdated (80s technology) and they are difficult to make good power out of out here.

I would look into FPs HTA turbos. We have played with a few of them and they are totally awesome!

The guy in the above post Jack, would be one of the guys to talk to about your tranny. Looks like he's close to you, too.
How much power are you looking to make?, the Red may not be the best choice for you

Im looking for around 450-500 daily drivable horsepower. A set up where i can get reasonable MPG's . Thanks for the heads up on the red, i was thinking either that or a SBR Bastard. But first i have to fix it. Thanks for the help guys
