Hey guys,
I know this is a topic that has been beat to death and I have done a lot of searching in the forums and read through many threads the last few nights. What I'm looking for is confirmation on a diagram I am going with for my battery relocation. Will it work and is it safe? There are a...
Evening Gents,So with all the quarantine stuff going on I've been doing a lot of tinkering on my 2G and cleaning things up and such. This season there were big plans to swap in the freshly built motor I've got waiting and adding my FMIC, and upgrading to the 20G turbo. Currently car is tuned...
Hey Guys...
Here we go... about 3 weeks ago I installed a fuel-lab AFPR in my car to prepare for a new wally 255. At the time I had a 195 pump in there and set my regulator to 43PSI and had zero issues, car ran great, regulator did its job perfectly. Today I threw in the new 255 pump and I'm a...
Hey guys,
I'm upgrading my old 195 pump to a 255, and going the recommended route of adding in a fuel pressure regulator. Currently car is tuned for 20lbs on a 16g and FIC 750's. First question, is the recommended FPR psi still the 41-45 range? And second question, will I or should I need a...
Hey guys, I'm looking at repainting my front and rear bumpers as they're looking a little ragged over the years. I've come across the paintscratch.com kits and wanted to get some feedback on those. My bumpers were sprayed at one point during previous ownership and it looks like it was just off...
Can someone provide some pictures of their OEM 2gb exhaust from the cat to muffler please? I've got to play some games with the Massachusetts inspection system and need to find a way to make my exhaust appear stock without having to hack up my nice new 3". Thank you

Toying with the idea of selling or trading my 1991 1G TSI, chassis has roughly 130k miles, with a freshly rebuilt 6 bolt. Car is about 90% complete and with new additions to the family I've lost all time to finish it. Heres a run down on what I've got
Freshly built 6 Bolt, bored .2 over with...
Hey guys,
Just a couple quick questions on a MTXL install... For starters I'm using this guide for where to hook into for the various wires which is pretty straight forward...http://www.dsmlink.com/wiki/mtxinstall
My question is, Do I splice into these wires of the ECU plugs or am I cutting this...
Hey guys,
Im wrapping up some odds and ends on my car and 1 thing that has me stumped is some pretty simple plumbing issues on the fuel system. Mainly what I need help with is how have you all run your return line from the FPR to the Fuel return. The stock return line is a slip fit and clamp...
When you're finished with reassembly and go to put the wheels on but cant find your damn lug nuts. Didn't lose one bolt throughout the entire rebuild, but lost 20 lugs somehow. lol
Like the title says, there was barely a dribble of fluid when I removed the drain plug in my 1g AWD 5 speed tranny. How much trouble am I dealing with. The input and output shafts are free of play and spin easily with no noises or anything. The shift linkage is working and moving through the...
Anyone using the STM throttle body elbow. I have a 1g and am mocking up the FMIC and looking for a better option than the stock elbow. The STM one looks nice but it’s anout 100 bucks which is pricey for a 6 inch piece of metal. I thought of going to an2g elbow but seems they can be more...
I picked up a free intercooler along with some other assorted parts so I'm happy with that. I'd like to use this JDM sport intercooler I picked up. It looks like a run of the mill universal intercooler. Attached is a picture of it. Im wondering does anyone have some good pics of using and...
On the new build I'm going to be running a 16g turbo with an OEM actuated waste gate. I'm probably going to use this for the first thousand or so miles while the engine is breaking in. Curious what the max boost is you can run on a OEM wastegate 16g. I'm hoping to eventually switch to a tial...
Hey guys, I'm trying to find a good break down on the oil pump sprocket assembly, specifically if there is a spacer that goes on before or after the sprocket. I looked through the hanes manual and didnt see it listed. If my memory is correct though there is a silver metal spacer about the size...
So I'm making headway on my build and getting ready to drop the motor back in and get this thing going, last step is getting my ECU and DSM link. To call myself a newbie to tuning and DSM link would be an overstatement, and ill be having the guys at RRT handle the tuning. Anyways on to the...
So I'm in the process of doing a complete rebuild on my 1G talon. Naturally all timing belts and components are being done. I picked up this kit.... https://www.extremepsi.com/store/product.php?productid=28040&cat=1828&page=1 the gates "economy kit" from extremepsi. A gates belt, balance...
So I've completed the EGR delete and went to the "race only" set up via Taboo speeds diagrams. I'm just wondering is it ok to unplug the Fuel pressure solenoid and Evap Purge solenoid electrical connectors, or will those cause CEL's and any other issues if they're just unplugged and removed...
