they should have done a leak down test,along with a boost leak test to check and see if the valves or rings are leaking, also do you know if they used a smoke test machine?do a leak down test use a smoke machine to put smoke in the system to help find leaks while doing a boost leak test

So much for me going to the meet, my harmonic balancer took a shit and threw the pulley under my car today at 9:00 pm!! Oh well shit happens. I'll just take it off my 6 bolt later tomorrow. http://www.streetfire.net/video/miami-dsm-meet-62710_2031792.htm

i am down for either moroso or homestead 1/8th dont matter to me!!!!

i tuned it!!! i used my mac mentor for logging i dont see how it is unsafe!!!, explain because maybe im over looking something. im at 15 psi because i am still on the stock fuel system so i dont lean it out while at WOT. no knock at all,timing is fine at wot,fuel trims are good also.however...

honestly i really dont quite know!! Big 16g ported, obx headers 7cm outlet/collector, exhaust 02 housing 3", full 3" exhaust,intake,front mount 2.75'' pipes, 15 psi boost,stock fuel system!!! act 2600 clutch fidanza flywheel.i cant imagine anything over 270 to 300 whp at best whith what i...

lol yeah and it will all go to my car lol.......

ok... well i bet 1k on the red talon if you run him!!! ill bring cash next meet!!!! any one up for bets?

dont waste your time even trying to race the red talon..... no contest. but if you like, i want to record it if you do!!!!.

from what i know hes running a 62/62 turbo 2.4L AWD, produces in the range of 680+ whp. he says he runs low to mid 10's like 10.50 or beter. i did not ask to much just what i heard.

YouTube - Miami DSM Meet 6/27/10sorry about the downward angle!!!! some settings on the lcd screen where messed up so i was seeing otherwise and i forgot to put it in 1080p hd.....!!! noob lol!!!!

atleast people came!!!! but damn this was my very first meet and there was so much hype about it to. it was not even close to the pictures i have seen of past meets. any way the people that came where cool and ill look forward to the next one. (( i was the big dude with the backwards hat!!!)...

i will be there around 12:30!!! i have a small bbq grill that can cook 13 burgers at 1 time. any of you interested? ill bring the charcoal and stuff. any one want to chip in or just leav it to a cruise to a lunch place?

damn man that really sux!!!! i have a 6 bolt siting in my garage if you need any parts let me know!!! im taking all stock internals out and rebulding it with all forged internals.

try and take some clear pictures from as many angles as possible and you might get some good feedback!!!

that sounds good!!!! intake,full 3'' turbo back exhaust,headers will free up quite a bit on the stock t-25. those little t-25's are spool monsters and spool quickly down low.

i bought my 98 tsi with 14k miles in 07 for $500 from an 86 year old lady. her son died in 2001 and she drove the car weekly to the market and stuff. i got the car with every maintenance record and window sticker. i got it with a fresh clutch which some dude suckerd her into at a shop down here...

that turbo will be just fine dude!!!! it was mainly a bad batch that gave them a bad name!!! it does spool slower but that really is it and its not that much diff from a real mhi 16g...flows the same and you can make the same power. now given we all know it will not last as long a real 16g...

noises are a bastard sometimes,i only hear the noise when it starts. it could be a belt or the starter. get some belt dressing or just wet the belts a little then start it see if the noise changes ,if it does then there you go. have some one help you listen on startup and also check to see if...

ill send you 1600 now and just send it to me on a truck!!!!!

it is big enough, however most of us run 3 inch!!!!. 2.5 is plenty if you are still stock and looking for a small upgrade.

i seen a gtr destroy one of these...this is no super car and the engine is not even made by toyota!!!

im down with the 27th or the 28th!!!!! but the 27th sounds alot better for most people.

i dont mind driving to markham its only like an hour 15 from where i live. im looking forward to another cruise up there.lol we picked up a few people that where not in the cruise and decided to jump in and follow... a 3rd gen on the way there and anothr gsx on the way back to miami.

yes the 28th is on a monday!!! i was there to, the black 98 talon TSi, the big tall dude. i cant wait till the 28th to see more dsm's and hopefully more talons i feel lonely....lol.
