  1. Please help with Cyclone

    i agree with Defiant. the cyclone intake without the proper setup only gets you style points with those "jdm" fanatics. my personal favorites are the ones who say they have 2g jdm parts when there is no such thing. the japanese market didn't have anything close to a 2g car, rather they had a...
  2. Contemplating an EVOIII 16G install, have a few questions (package deal from FP)?

    invest in a good front mount intercooler. you want your dsm to breathe the coolest air it can get, not the hot air your stock smic is going to give from the increased volume and speed of air in a small amount of space. your stock turbo should spool at around 2800 rpms, but the evoIII is going...
  3. 1g swap..missing pieces..

    what intake will you be using? the 1g tb is bigger than the 2g but you have to make sure you get the 91+ for the correct configuration. if you are using the 2g intake manifold you'll also have to port it out to match the 1g tb size. i used the 1g tb and the 2g tb elbow since it's larger than...
  4. 2G JDM Engine??????

    a 1g engine, which was put into all 89-93 cars is a "6 bolt" engine where 94+ is using a "7 bolt" engine. the difference between the two is basically internal components as far as the pistons and a little different compression rating. the 1g has a larger TB than the 2g, a weaker exhaust...
  5. 1g in a 2g or evo swap???? Please Help

    looking at your own words...you should tone it down a little bit when asking the help of others son. yes the turbo will bolt up to the 1g manifold but it has always had a problem of cracking so you're better off sticking to the 2g manifold. you will have to get a 2g turbo install kit of some...
  6. HELP! Blown engine???

    i had the exact same thing happen to me. i put a new 16g on my 97, drove less than 800 miles and had a clunking noise start. i had to have my ride towed 180 miles on a flatbed trailer so i totally agree with the flatbed trailer being oem equipment. somehow in less than 800 miles, after...
  7. Insurance [Merged 10-6]

  9. Insurance [Merged 10-6]

    LoL i don't even want to tell you guys how much i pay for a 250/250 comp/collision deductible and full coverage but i will...i pay about $475 every 6 months as a single male granted i'm 26 but still....Ha Ha Ha
  10. Intercooler Cleaning IC [Merged 11-7] clean smic fmic

    the way i cleaned my SMIC while my 6-bolt was being dropped in was running some gasoline in the IC with the ends plugged and then pouring it out. I repeated this until the gasoline came out the same color it went in. then also cleaning and straightening the fins.
  11. Gone through 2 turbos in 2 months...

    I'm using the feed and return lines from the 2g install kit I got from Buschur Racing and I'm not sure their size. The feed line is pulling oil from the head and not the filter adapter that you mentioned. Where is this oil filter adapter kit located? I'll do just about anything to get, and...
  12. Gone through 2 turbos in 2 months...

    A few months ago I dropped in a 6-bolt into my 97 TSi AWD. After running around for a while, my stock 2g turbo started leaking oil and I replaced it with a big 16g. Now, 2 months later, my big 16g is leaking oil and has approximately 1/8" of shaft play. I make a conscious effort to check the...
  13. Signs of a Spun Bearing?

    i had the same decision to make back in march when i spun a bearing. either pay a local machine shop $1,300.00 to polish the crank a new bearings (plus removal and reinstallation) and still have to worry about crank-walk or drop in the 6-bolt. i decided to drop in the 6-bolt ($2,000.00) and...
  14. Fuel Cut: What is it? How do I fix it? [merged]

    disconnect your ground for about 5-10 minutes to let your factory ecu reset. then see if it's doing the same thing. i had a similiar problem after upgrading to a big 16g, but after resetting the ecu it works better now.
  15. Cutting out under mild to high boost

    after installing a ported big 16g my car is doing the same thing. i have turned my boost down until i have the supporting modifications (550's, fuel pump, SAFC) to handle all the extra air.
  16. smoke?

    i had white smoke when i hit boost also. after doing a pressure check on the coolant system and finding no leaks, i listened to a buddy and pulled the pipe from between the intake filter and turbo and found a lot of oil and A LOT of shaft play. i pulled the stocker and dropped in my big 16g...
  17. six bolt swap done...car idling like shitzu

    speaking of blocking the EGR...i have the 6-bolt swap in my 97 but i have a CEL saying that the EGR is malfunctioning or missing. how do i get rid of this without going to the mechanic to clear my code for a day or three?
  18. My Dsm Is Smoking Again And I Dont Know Why

    i would suggest pulling the pipe from between the filter and your turbo to check for shaft play. i noticed in your profile that you haven't upgraded your turbo yet and with 114,000 miles on it, you're probably due for that big 16 or 20g you've been thinking of.
  19. SMOKING.... HELP meeeeeeee

    i had a similiar problem with my car. i unhooked the intake pipe between the filter and the turbo and found oil there. i checked for shaft play and found a lot horizontally and vertically. i replaced the stock turbo with a big 16g and have had no problems since. hope my two cents might help...
  20. Best exhaust for a daily driver?

    i have a 2.5 to 3" downpipe and 3" stainless steel piping all the way back, 3" in & out high flow cat and the N-1 muffler. it sounds great with a deeper throaty sound, not like the tiny lawnmower mufflers commonly found here at least.
  21. Smoking exhaust @ boost

    well, on the advice of a buddy, i pulled the intake piping going into the turbo housing. there was oil on the intake side and there was an insane amount of shaft play. thankfully i had a big 16g that i was polishing that i could drop right in. it's now in, no smoke and it's a sweet power...
  22. 1g in a 2g....do i need the 2g install kit for new turbo?

    do i just un-do the center housing clamp to rotate the housing or is it more complicated than that? i have the 1g j-pipe also.
  23. 1g in a 2g....do i need the 2g install kit for new turbo?

    i have a 97 tsi awd with a 1g 6 bolt block in it. i have a new big 16g and FMIC that i'm getting ready to put in it, but i'm not sure if i need this elusive "2g install kit" for 2g cars. i cannot find pictures of what's included in this kit and because of my mix 'n' match car, i don't know if...
  24. Idle Vacuum [Merged 3-9]

    lol.....i'm admitting that i was wrong. my gauge DOES say mmHg for vacuum and psi for boost. i thought it was psi for both but like i said...i was wrong.::noting the date and time that i admitted i was wrong and marking on calendar:: :thumb:
  25. Idle Vacuum [Merged 3-9]

    after going and checking the little itty bitty letters on my gauge i stand/sit corrected on the inclusion of the "psi" in my post.
  26. Smoking exhaust @ boost

    About a week ago I noticed that my car had white smoke coming out of the exhaust. I realized it was a coolant leak from the color of the smoke but I cannot find any leaks. (My head gasket, along with every other gasket and seal on the engine and transmission are less than 5 months old from my...
  27. Clutch pedal goes from good to really bad response

    I had the system bled again from the bottom side off the slave cylinder. It must have had a lot air in it because now it's working just fine. I do plan on getting the ss clutch line and disposing of the accumulator as well to prevent this from happening again.Thanks for the help! sirhc
  28. Clutch pedal goes from good to really bad response

    Ok I went through all the other boards to find this but it's late/early so if it is in there and I missed it - I apologize in advance. I had a new clutch, master cylinder and 6 bolt engine put in my 97 tsi awd in the past 6 months. My clutch pedal started acting funny about 2 weeks ago when it...
