So....not a newbie, necessarily, but I feel like one! I've been out of "the game" with my DSM for quite a few years due to money and time....
Here's what I'm healing with:
'92 TSi AWD (4/6 combo)
3" thermal research cat back
2.5" downpipe and highflow cat
evo3 O2 housing with dump
evo3 exhaust mani
Tial 38mm wastegate
Evo3 Big 16G (Real MHI!!)
Ghetto opened intake
MBC set at like 15 for now because of issues
I have a video of it here that you can kind of hear the sounds.... If someone has some ideas, I will try to get better ones or more specific...I know it is long, but hopefully you can maybe get an idea what I am dealing with on this one
- It idles rough (sounds like upgraded cams, but there are none)
- Under load it spits and sputters and has no power unless you can get the RPMs over about 3500-4000m then it grabs and goes like the car I used to know!
- Ticks REALLY loud...think lifter tick, but louder.
I unplugged the MAF sensor to see what happened, and the idle got worse, so I don't think that is it.... I unplugged each plug wire one at a time, and it got worse each time as well.
Thoughts?
