I did a search and found some information and Bump stops. I'm switching over to Koni Yellow/Eibach Pro-kit on my 97 TSi AWD.Front bump stops looked great, rears were in rough shape. I see a post that stated KYB makes a good bump stop. However, has anyone used something like this...

I'm installing new Koni yellows with eibach pro kit springs. I have searched and found a few threads on Koni yellows with GC but not really an install guild with the pro-kit springs.Anyways, the eibach instructions say to trim 20mm off the bottom of the bump stop. Before I trim, I want to ask...

I researched and found some dsmers have used DIE Titanium wrap on there exhaust manifolds, o2 housings and downpipes.My question is regarding its direct heat rating, it states that the wrap can handle 1800 degrees Fahrenheit direct contact. Does the o2 housing and downpipe get hotter then...

I know there is a difference between a 2g FWD and AWD exhaust, they are not interchangeable. But is there any difference between a 2g AWD auto and 2g AWD manual exhaust? I have a custom 3" turbo back on my manual 1998 gsx and need to know if the exhaust will bolt up to my auto 1997 tsi awd, I am...

I recived this nice looking 02 housing but I noticed the bung for the 02 sensor has no threads. Maybe its intended for dsm or aem sensors, this way I can just tap the threads I need for whatever sensor Im running?Or do I need a threaded insert to weld in?I am assuming I cant just tap in...

Hello all, I am looking for some advise/suggestions.When I bought my 98 GSX, I was told that there was an issue with the transmission gasket that caused a leak, which lead to transmission failure. This was many years ago, and the previous owner bought a used 95/96 transmission. They quickly...

I did search, but didnt find everything I was looking for.I few weeks ago I was driving my Talon to work and I noticed a strange humming coming from the rear passenger wheel. I had recently just replaced all the calipers, rotors, and pads but it didn't sound like a brake issue. It sounded like...

I wanted to share with other DSM fans.I have had my 97 TSI for about two years now. Only mod when I bought the car was a T28, everything else was stock, even the plastic BOV. Over a period of a year, I started maintenance and modifications. I quickly realized the car took to mods nicely and...

Are there any reputable forum members that sell rebuilt mhi 16/20g turbos. Extreampsi is selling the NEW evo 16g for $850, I really like extreampsi, but I cant choke down that price when I see them go for half that used.

Is this a CX Racing radiator core with slim fans added? There the same price but the ebay one comes with the fans...http://www.ebay.com/itm/95-99-MIT-ECLIPSE-TALON-2G-DSM-MT-DUAL-CORE-2-ROW-ALUMINUM-RADIATOR-12-BLACK-FAN-/200689628637?hash=item2eba08b5dd:g:QFEAAOSwL7VWnsnW&vxp=mtr

I am about to try and order CX racing short route piping for a ETS street intertcooler, but I cant find the ETS pipe size? Does anyone know if its 2.5" or 3" on the ETS street core. The CX racing pipe size is 2.5". Thanks for any help.

I was quoted about $1000 for the local tire/suspension shops to replace all four calipers, brackets, rotors, and pads.I would really like to save about $500 and do the labor myself, is there anything special to look out for while doing this complete brake job on a 2gb dsm? I will pick up a...

Its a bit hard find the proper offset's, I have seen +35, +45. Should a 225/40/18 with +40 offset fit a 2gb dsm?

This looks like a FWD set up to me, but I am not 100% sure. There needs to be a bend in the last tail pipe section to bend around the rear diff on an AWD. Any ideas???

Anyone using exhaust manifold heat wrap on stock manifold? I would like to free up some space and get red of the heat shield, along with a t28 turbo blanked. Or just run a turbo blanked with no heat shield and leave the manifold along?

While attempting to replace the stock fuel filter with the fuelab kit, http://www.extremepsi.com/store/product.php?productid=21516&cat=879&page=1 , I made a stupid mistake.While trying to get the stock fuel filter off, which I don't think has ever been replaced, I torqued on the clamp bolts...

I have been doing a bit of research when I have free time, I'm looking to replace rotors, calipers, pads. I have found some good information of "big brake kits" on the forums, however, I'm really needing to look for something less expensive.I tried doing a search on this kit...

Well I am looking for the best way to install a phono plug into pin 79. I have searched and searched, but have found nothing on the actual install, just tons of information on ceddymods and flashing. I received a flashable ECU awhile ago and did reflash with ceddy mods a number of times with...

My stock rotors/pads need to be replaced soon, also I will be rebuilding the calipers. Its for a 1997 talon tsi AWD.Looking for input on ebay type parts, I normally don't do ebay type parts, but I need to save all the money i can at the moment (but also don't want to die because I bought crap...

I have always hard loud lifter tick ever since I bought the car about a year ago. Its a 1997 talon tsi with 205k. And I am sure its causing phantom knock. Ever since I went to a evoflash and evoscan, I have noticed that I sit at around 40 counts of knock at idle when the lifterts are ticking...

I cant get my laptop to connect to the net at the moment, trying to upload an evoscan log a different way.Is the file openable in excel, it default saved as a csv file? I will need to have some experienced tuners to help me out, that's if I can even upload the log.

I installed my 560cc and used ceddymods to tune. After my first reflash; that's with changing from 450 to 560 in the flow block cell and also changing deadtime latency to its correct input. I have not yet made any changes to the A/F table or idle tuned.However, I now have a P0446 cel. Come to...

I searched a bit, but couldn't find what I was looking for. Does anyone know if a Chilton repair manual shows how to remove the front bumper, its not a normal repair, so I assume it wouldn't? I'm might be upgrading to a FMIC, so I figure I will need to remove my 2gb talon front bumper, just...

I bought a 98 gsx BlackBox set up a few weeks ago for my 97 tsi. I am getting ready to start the process of installing, logging, tuning. But I had a question, when I go to" http://ceddy.us/h8-ecu-wiki/roms-ecuflash-defs/ " to download ROM's & DEF, it has two different sets? 20560008 and...

Hello all, I picked up a 97 tsi about a year ago. The only mod the car had was a T28.
