I have a hx-35 7 blade. it came with the divided t3 housing. i also have a t3 manifold with a tial 38mm wastegate. but i also have the bep tdo5 housing with a tdo5 dnp manifold with a tial 44mm wastegate. which way should i go for a quicker spool? divided t3, or the bep tdo5?

I'd vote yes to 17

headers heat wrapped and a cold air intake? no hondas here!

Electric is cool, but rocket power would take the cake!:hellyeah:

I'm gonna give you some GREAT advice, that i wish someone would have shared with me when i bought my first dsm. Get out while you still can!!!:|

Well i'm checking my balljoints now. you got lucky man! the damage to your could have been much worse.

I've had the same problem, and the float wasn't hung on anything. it moved freely. i ended up changing my sending unit and it fixed my gauge.

I would vote go stock all the way. 14b, 450 injectors, maybe 3 inch exhaust. get some miles on it. find out how they opperate, and then start modding it.

I belive you're right. Thank you sir!

yeah. believe it or not, that's the first place i checked. and every forum i've found about it was people talking about it being damn near impossible to track one down.

i have lost the valve seat for my evolution wastegate, does anyone have one? or know where i can order a replacement?

x1 same here. oil light flashed on and off, i sounded like a had a vibration from my tranny. and i pulled the oil pan and spun a bearing on the third cylinder

if there were no electrical problems i would price it for around 3800. hell i would price it for 3800 anyway. if noone picks it up, you'll be forced to keep it. and work the bugs out

my brother put a hx-35 on his laser a few months ago. he bought the bullseye power housing, it bolted right up to his stock manifold, the flapper was already welded shut so he could run his external gate. and the exhaust bolted right back on with no modification. we had to dent the waterpipe...

maybe blown headgasket, maybe you have a valve slightly bent or burnt

i had the stage 4 in my awd, i had to get the local clutch doctor to re pad the disc after a few months but it's worked great since.oh it costed me 40 dollars to repad it, so it was still a cheaper route.

It really sounds like the bov isn't plumbed back in.

dude i may have one laying around, you can have it if i do. i'm local, you may have to pick up some bolts for it though

I always buy a oem lower gasket set, and then purchase the intake and headgasket seperately. use a mls head gasket just to be safe

stock disc and pressure plate?

Tell your friend not to use this stuff. I've never seen that blow off valve before. and there are so many out there that have proven themselves in the dsm community. and if he cant recirculate it, you'll probably have to re tune to open atmosphere.

I would say rebuild, if your new to the dsm world play around with the 2.0 platform for a while. i wouldn't just jump straight into a stroker

you could do the v3 lite and a wideband for the price of a carbonfiber hood. that would be my vote

hopefully it's just the oil, that's never been my case though. I've spun a few rod bearings in these things:|

there are a few around here that are be assembled at the moment, you local guys should add the knoxville TN dsm group page on facebook.

Buying a 1g AWD is going to be your best bet.

I had a guy try to tell me there was no way my car is a awd tsi. because awd talon models were called "TSX".but he was driving a wrx, so i just went with it:hellyeah:

I love the setup, the car looks great! :thumb: on the auto swap. Do you have a buyer lined up for your stage 3 tranny?

90 TSI awd 5 speed, piston broke a ring landing, transmission shifted like butter. completely virgin car. 1500. I'll take it to the grave with me.

Good deal, i dont see many on the roads these days.

My momma says always replace your thermostat after your car over heats

Did i miss the boat again?

Yeah i knew it had some limits, like tuning 1200cc injectors, which is why it was handed down to me.

I used to run a safc2 on my 1g, with stock injectors, 255 pump, and a small 16 i had mine set on +14 across the board. but when i upgraged to a 20g and 550's i had to pull mine close to zero too. i was running a hacked 1g massair though. I wouldn't try to tune on a car without a wideband! :nono:

I have a silver box ECU+ that i recently inherited, anyone want to give me any bad news on this item before i wire it up? Everything i've read so far has been good reviews. overall i'm looking for a more detailed tune than my safc offered, while maintaining nice street manners!

yeah i guess i'll stick with oem. better safe than sorry.

does anyone recommend using the topline oil pump? I would imagine going back with the oem would be my best interest. just thought i might try to save a few bucks for once.

Been a dsm driver for years, always 1g's, always 5 speeds, always awd's. i'm currently driving a 90 talon tsi awd, 5 speed, running a 20g setup with supporting mods. Nothing crazy!:rolleyes:
