Any shaft play? that stock boost gauge doesn't read "boost".If your running synthetic oil it tends to burn white sometimes. My GSX turbo was blown and doing this,replaced,swapped it out and no more smoke.
I just recently had a very similar issue with my gsx. I had a combination of 3 things causing my problem, a very high and erratic idle caused by my timing being off a bit,a dead IAC motor, and apparently my turbo had its seals blown ( hardly any shaft play) which was really throwing me off. Also...
This Thread is DEF something to keep alive for those new member and owners needing some help.I took Achelea recommendation and sure enough I could not be any happier :hellyeah:Tony makes sure everything is done right the first time and went above and beyond from what I expected.I came in...

Its cheap insurance really..... and as some people have noted not ALL pins are ricey (come on guys =/) they make some real nice ones.You could get them in a flat black so it wont stand out as much if your really worried
From personal experience I WOULD install pins or some type of locking pins for extra safety and precaution.... My GF's OEM style hood recently came up during driving....luckily she wasn't going that fast and the hood just lifted up (didn't smack the windshield) but did cause cracked where the...
Ive tried searching on tuners but cant get the answer im looking for... I understand the route of just swapping and splicing the wires for 1g cas (which there are great tutorials on) but im trying to find out if there is any way to use my existing 2g 97 cas which is located on the passenger...
I want to finish up my car project and need the front core support welded onto my front crash beam.I dont have access to tools to finish grinding out and cutting the right smashed crash beam a bit so some very minor work might be required but I will pay for your time by either the job or rate...
Just finished getting the core support and removed the radiator and everything else.Might go back tomorrow to pick up other things once I do some research to verify...

2.6 L G54B engine. with TD05-12A Mitsubishi turbochargerI dont know the HP/TQ numbers. They were offered as a Chrysler Conquest TSI model or Mistubish ESIR due to that joint venture. The body lines on these cars are just sex....just hate that they did not come with DOHC or MPI already....only...
Great find :hellyeah:
I love how that motor had so much torque,turbo, RWD and you can fit some nice meaty tires on the rearMy bro-in-law had a white conquest tsi he did an auto to 5 speed stock as well,so ill ask how hard it was but good call on the 4g63 swap and keeping it a DSM :thumb...
update: Removed the radiator and crashed items that were no good anymore.also rewired and fixed the ripped wiring harness.The motor mount brackets is snapped in half,and springs need to get replaced it was on some ebay coilovers :ohdamn:I gave em 900 for it and am pretty confident in regaining...
The damage that I could make out was towards the bottom right where the crashbeam was. It would need a new radiator support which I have no problem welding on and little bs parts. But my concern is that area on the bottom right and seeing it pushed in I was thinking of hooking a tow or chain...
Finally picked up the car last night and it looks a bit worst than I thought =( unfortunately
I really like the car so much that I might actually pay to repair it depending on the cost. Where or what should I ask for and what kind of shops to take it to to get quotes or see what I needed for...
Wuts up fellow Dsmr's =)

Basically... I recently replaced and installed a brand new t25 with an ss oil feed line. I never took off the the exhaust manifold just unbolted the turbo from the manifold and etc. Recently i have noticed some oil collecting and darkening the areas around the exhuast manifold. I have a 4 layer...
