+1, happened to me too. Just use a file or grinder and just cone off the end the just run the bolt back on and you should be fine.

Hey man as i mentioned it free for you, just come pick it up and try it out, if it doesnt work then just toss it or do what you want with it. I dont need it anyway.

Basically put the BOV between a vise, make sure its even. Gently and slowly tighten the vise, you will see the top part of the BOV begin to cave in. You are literally crushing it a few millimeters. Where most people crush to is so the nipple for the vacuum line touches the first tier of the BOV...

I could be wrong, but i thought i read somewhere you can use a Holset actuator as a replacement and the stock boost is 20 psi on it.

To find out the size you need you simply measure the outer diameter of your hubs, the then inner diameter of the wheel's bore. As for place and price, you cant beat ebay. Its less than 10 bux shipped for a set of 4 made out of poly carbon, so no rusting, snapping, cracking issues. Ive been...

the condensor and pulley free, i also have a compressor with bracket in case you need that too, but the compressor id like to sell

I have a 1g awd tsi condensor and tensioner pulley, no clue if they fit 2gs, but if you want them they are yours.

Not 100% sure but from what i recall reading, the evo3 had the biggest intake and exhaust manifold ports. I personally have a evo 3 exhaust manifold and the flow and ports are indeed bigger. The exhaust manifold outlet which connects to the turbo is already 7cm stock as well. I dont believe...

I think you might run into some rubbing issues depending on the tires you get. The evo 8 enkies are 17x8 with a +35 offset. I know someone who has them with 245/45/17's and also dropped and has a slight rub but thats also on dead shocks. I think if you get a lower profile and width and with a...

I definitely would fix the alignment, no reason to wear out the tires prematurely. And yes, you can get bolts and washers from a hardware store, there is a thread about the DIY camber kits somewhere, just gotta search for it.

I bought a similar exhaust housing from a member here just recently as well. Im not sure if its that same ebay one, but looks just like it. It definitely does need the wastegate hole ported. The only issue i came across was that the wastegate flapper arm has a slightly different connection. I...

So it turns out i have a damaged transistor on my ecu and its the only thing keeping me from a working car at this point. Im looking for someone who might have a toasted/junk/broken/uneeded ecu from a 1g tsi. All i need from it is a small transistor. Please let me know if anyone has one, thanks!

Thats ok, a few members were very generous and offered to donate theirs already.

Looking for a local who might have a spare 1g radiator. The neck on mine broke off and comes off under boost, so just need another one till i get an aftermarket one eventually. Let me know if you got one, thanks!

I agree, must be some fuses or relays that must have went out. Check the ecu for possible damage, check the MPI relay, check all under hood fuses, maybe even try another battery

Im looking for someone in the bay area to just let me try their 1g turbo ECU in my car. Im pretty sure the issues im having with me car are ECU related and just want to try another ECU to confirm. Id just need it for like 30 mins to install, start and drive car and ill give it right back. If...

blazebolt - i got your PM and sent you an email 2 days ago, i just wanna make sure you got it. I understand if you busy, just dunno if you got it or i sent it to wrong email, please lemme know

Yea, id definitely be interested. Can you please PM me your contact info so we can set something up? Thanks!Thats not quite how i explained it, but ok. Disturbing image actually, i bought the car from the original owner, an old white guy, so what fun he had with it i dont wanna know.

There is some smell from the cap area, but not sure if its just old car smell or more off egg or burnt smell. I would contact penumo, but no PMing privileges yet. Im definitely gonna try to look for some local shop or store to take a look though. Do you think a computer tech place might be able...

After having some issues with the car, i did some research and ended up pulling the ECU, i have a 93 talon awd tsi, the ecu is an EPROM. Im far from an expert but seems like one of the caps is leaking or something burned up, so just looking for someone who can either help rebuild, or at least...

Pulled my turbo a few days ago and found that the exhaust housing on my 14b has several small cracks and the area around the flapper has several larger cracks so im just looking for a 14b exhaust housing to replace it with. Im looking for one WITHOUT any cracks or damage. Please let me know if...

Thanks, but im looking for a noncracked one

Looking for a non-cracked or damaged 2g exhaust manifold and O2 housing, If you have either or both, let me know how much you are looking to get for them, Prefer locals around Bay Area.
