I got good news guys! :D:thumb:

Haha thanks, yeah I've had my hands full with buying shit parts from them. Then when ya tell them theres an issue they blame you or ur car, like 90% of the time lol. I know the alternators gobout quite often to begin with but was hoping to get lile a years use out of it first haha then tale it...

Thanks ill have to check it out. Talked to manager at autozone, he said its more than likely alternator over charging...or spiking. Cause now my battery is coming up bad but shows 100% charge with 12.97 volts...shouldnt autozone give me a new battery since the alternator i bought from them...

I checked it with a volt meter and its showing like 14.3v but i dont have a way to measure it while driving since it only seems to happen when accelerating pretty hard. Lights will get super bright for a sec then go back to normal...punch the gas again and yet again the lights get super bright...

I think that should work. But i had this issue and its been bugging the hell out of me, so here it goes. I bought a new battery starter and alternator about a month ago, but last week i noticed when i was getting on it and in high rpms (at night if that matters) and all of the dash lights and...

I took the alternator out and replaced it with a 98 galant 90 amp one. I rewired the pigtail so it was back to 2g plug using the diagram i posted above but am getting light surges at high rpm, so i would like to confirm with someone that the diagram is right, i knowni states 1-2-3-4 for the plug...

Help! Cant find 100% varifiable anwser. I have a 95 awd tsi with a 6 bolt swap. Now the alternator needs to be replaced butvthey put a 1g alt in there, so i got a 2g pig tail for alternator but dont know which wires go where? Colors dont match up i got a big red one, a big white one, then a...

Quick question. Will a evo 8 radiator fit a 2g dsm? I have a leaking 95 gsx radiator. What other radiators are compatible? As mentioned bybother user before i may be looking to upgrade, i have a fmic and big16g turbo and will be looking to push 450-500hp. Im getting some new fans that will push...

Checked the codes, got some for maf, tps, o2, evap canister, boost selenoid, etc. Checked all vacuum lines and capped them off properly, and seems to run better. Idle is till a bit high (sometimes itll idle at 1,100-sometimes 1,500). Runs pretty well out of boost, once i seem to get boost around...

So a 99 galant alternator wont work?

I would love to do that but i cant seem to find a eprom ecu, i plan on getting dsm link as well

Okay thabks thats what i thought, so. Being that i have a 95 gsx with a 6bolt swap i should get a 95 ecu?

Hey I've done plenty of searches on this topic and little to no solutions.Okay backstory, I bought a frankenstien 95 GSX with a 6bolt swap. Got it running. But runs like shit so as my first upgrade I wanted to get DSMLink. ( have 15 codes coming up on obd2 reader, will post them) But needed...

So today i sold my daily driver so i could buy parts. I really want to get this car running 100% so if ya have any suggestions on what to get lmk. This is my first dsm project

Tried to drive the car the .5 miles to the garage but it wouldnt make it up this hill, when i approached the hill normally and as soon as i started to hit the incline it started to bowmg out, almost as if it was running out of gas or someone just cut all electrical power.So the car stalled...

How do you check the volts on the TPS? And yes i put the car to TDC, everything lined up, took CAS off, had a sot on rotor and line on housing, it lined up put it back on head, put it to center, blam. Now as for the tps, how do i test it? Also i heard of the knock sensors causing issues? It only...

Okay idk what kind of cas im using but when i start it up it seems to run fine, but whenever i go to drive it it seems to fall on its face and sputting and spit inbetween 2-3k rpms then itd build boost and rev up to 5-6 k before falling out again, only took it around the block few times trying...

Was able to tap it but a stud would be prefered, never thought of it, thanks but now i have more issues as my lower radiator hose just blew in my face as i was messing with the tps cause it kept actin up and felt like it was loosing all power and was stalling and cutting out all sorts of issues

When i turn it while checking for in and out play i dont feel any rubbing but im getting a real 16g from jus or 35r so i think ill be okay for the next few months. Everythings coming together on it though, just made a boost leak tester, going to check for leaks tomorrow, seems like idle went...

Wait? Is that sarcasm? Lol im new To the turbo lingo, had a 1g in past but left it stock, now i got a 2g that needs work so im learning dsm stuff all over again...so finicky but soo worth it

Well after some investigating this turbo seems okay, has a tad of in out play and no side to side, i thought it was rubbing but it isnt. Im still going to swap it out soon as i hate ebay crap, but for simple things, things i dont care about like a front mount or piping..but a turbo haha no...

Ill give him a shout and see what he says but i noticed you have a 16g and a bb 50 trim? Which one did you prefer and why

Sorry for the delayed response. Heres whats happening, there's a lot so bare with me.Okay, got the car to run, was coolant temp sensor, the CAS won't go upside down cause the way it bolts up. Drove the car home 30 miles with no boost controller, waste gate was hooked directly to UIC piping so...

Its that obvious? Lol WTF! f*** f*** f*** haha this ruins everything! Well on the bright side...whats a good turbo i should swap...currently have stock injectors but fuel is the next thing to be gone over other than the turbo...

Okay so i went to go look and things are stsrting to look grim...i bought this car with a FMIC that looked like it was from ebay but i thought "who cares its just piping and a front mount" but i think they may have put and ebay turbo on there as well! Im so pissed off! Why people so dumb! Grrr...

Heres the best i could do for picture ( its fromnwhen i first bought the car)

Ahh...its 20°F outside but okay haha um where should i be looking for these numbers?

Well...i don't know to be honest. Haha have only had the car for a short while and bought it as a project. But the guy i bought it from said it had a 16g...BUT the housing said tdo5 i believe so that would tell me its a 14b...BUT it has dual spools? (The blades in the intake side of the turbo)...

Guess this means its time for a new turbo for me :'(

RatFink1096 submitted a new DSM Profile :95 TSI/GSX ProjectRead more about this vehicle here...

Checked the ECU...no DSM link :'( and wasnt able to get idle to drop at all, i checked the plugs and they were covered in black soot so i figured its running rich....but since i bought this as a project there is alot that needs addressing....the alternator seems shot...squeels like a mofo. And...

Did a lil wrenching today and fiddled with the cas and was able to lower rpms that way but then ran like crap so i put it back to center. I tried to get biss screw loose but sucker just wont budge free. Doesnt seem like plastic but what do i know. What abaout the throttle stop sensor thing...

I did not do the 6 bolt swap. I purchased the car this way and am trying to get it to just run smoothly without any major tear downs or purchases without knowing whats wrong with it. Ive had car running for almost a week now and at first it'd rev kinda high but would drop down like any other car...

Have similar issue, doesnt surge but just idles at 1,700 rpm pretty constant. CEL is on but havent checked for codes yet. I went to check biss screw setting and noticed it seems to be all the way in hut i cant tell as it seems seized but ill try again when i pull throttle body to clean it since...

Well i bought 2 m10x75 with the washer, one of them 1.50 pitch the other 1.25 and the 1.25 started but stopped the 1.50 was tight but when wiggling while threading it seemed to thead it 4 or 5 turns with my fingers as to not force anything so my guess is 1.50...but havent hit anything with a...

Its an m10! :) lol its recessed into a cavity they makes it seem like a m12 and yeah i got the 1.50 and it fits. Thanks guys

Hate to reopen the thread but i cant find the thread pitch for 32166d or 32166c and m10 seems to be too small seems like a m12. But tried a m12 with 1.25 pitch and still seems too small any suggestions? Idk if the p/o tapped it or crossthreaded it or what.

Hey guys I'm new to this forum thing as this is the first I've joined or posted on. So here's the situation. I bought a 95' awd tsi. I bought it in pieces and not running but gentleman i bought it from swore it ran and the engine and trans were good. It was for a resonable price so i bought it...
