Hi all, my name is Tres and i have a 92 tsi. I have owned it for 8 years and it was my wifes car. I bought the car for $350 with a smokey motor from a local dealer trade in. I am the second owner of this car. I put a 16g on it thinking the smoke was a bad turbo. Well the orig engine did not last. The car currently has 57k miles on the present new engine. The clutch spit out a pressureplate spring recently so now it's torn apart on my hoist. By the way I own 7 vehicles, 3 with turbo's (svo, A4 , talon) and 1 non turbo that runs 10's on mufflers and street tires ,over 500 rwhp, that's the falcon8r part. I am building the talon as MY daily driver now. I bought an ACT 010 plate and a clutchnet kevlar disc so far. Has also a 2 1/2 to 3" exhaust althought I have not finished the rear muffler part. Plan to add DSM link in the next week or two. Need to button this thing up . The delimma is to spend $$$ as frugally as I can. Too many projects: A.D.D. maybe?? Also have snowmobiles, yikes. I am a true gearhead an have connects to lot's of types of racing. My brother in laws car traps over 250 mph for example (NHRA #700 AA/FD). Tres in Montana
