As of right now my 96 talon is sitting in my garage without an intercooler of any type. I can get a stocker for 50 bucks, or get a Starion for about 30. With some modification this thing will be able to bolt up to my stock pipes, right? I am running hard pipes as well.I plan on running a...

I have about a half tank of gas that has been sitting in my tank for about 6 months. I am sure it is bad. How do I go about draining it? Or is it safe to run on low boost levels?

I'm sure half the used parts I buy are stolen. the worst they can do is just take them away.

My T25 was shot so I started installing the t28 today. I guess I'll run the T28 on stock boost untill I can get afc and the pump installed.

I am in the process of putting on a t28killer, 560's, and a 190lph fuelpump. I have all the other supporting mods as well. Would it be unwise of me to put the 560's in without fuel management? I would only want to run 14-15lbs of boost as the settup sits. Good idea, or no.

Did you see the factory "boost" gauge in the cluster?

I know at least one person at uncc. Me. ROFLI'm moving in on the 18th. My friend who is also going has an Evo. Check out Carolinadsm.com for some other local guys who go there.

I was just going to have the intercooler be held on in two places. One on the top middle and one of the bottom middle. Would that be enough?

Thanks for the reply. That is what I meant. Does the I/C have to be in the exact location the greddy brackets would put it at? Or can it be =/- an inch or two.

They started welding them on on the newer models. Yes... I am sure mine is a greddy. ROFLDoes the hieght on the intercooler have to be exact is my question.

I bought a used Greddy fmic. It included all the piping and hoses, but no brakets. How can I make some good brakets? I went to the store and made some myself, but it wobbles and the fitment is poor. How many locations should I mount the intercooler to? I only have it mounted in two different...

I read a review on here (search for it). He said the turbo was literally GLUED together. The manifold will probably go in a month, and the BOV probably leaks like sinking ship. I wouldn't get it.

I am buying a t28 killer today with 30k miles on it. I have my stock manifold and the turbo is ported to 7cm. Would it be a good idea to bolt it up to the manifold or just wait until I get a 7cm one. Also, I bought some evo8 injectors to help with this settup as well. One of the O-rings is...

No offense, but didn't you do a little research before buying the part for your car? If you would have searched you would have found the answer within 2 minutes. But yes, it is a direct bolton, though the inlet on the hotside is 7cm whereas your stock exhaust manifold is only 6cm.

I've got everything in my car except 560's, fmic (coming this week), afc and logger. How many miles did you put on the turbo?

You're probably looking at the regular T28 which is a lot small than the bigt28 and the t28 killer. The T28 killer isn't a T28 really. It utilizes a similar compressor cover, but has a 16g wheel inside of it. It flows 500 or so cfm's, but I'm sure a little more with the porting job. Sure I could...

I am about to buy a T-28 killer. It is ported and has a 34mm flapper on it. It has 30k miles on it. I noticed there aren't too many of these owners on the boards, but was hoping for a few to chime in. How much power are these things making? Would it be able to make my 325 goal (with supporting...

When I did mine I just cut one of the notches off.

I hate to bump an old thread, but would rather do this than start a new one. A local guy is selling his ported t28 killer with 34mm flapper for 325 bucks. I am thinking about getting it because I simply cannot afford a 50trim at the moment. Well, I could, but I couldn't afford a new clutch for...

I believe they sell something along the lines of a nut remover at homedepot. It grips the nut and somehow breaks it or removes it. You might want to give that a try or at least look into it.

Nx is very good. Pretty simple and straight forward install. I've done two kits and both are easy. Wet shots pack a lot of torque as well (at least for 4.6 motors).

Thanks for the replies. I made another thread in turbotech about the comparisons of the two turbos. I will probably end up biting the bullet and getting a dsmlink.

Where would I get them flowtested at? Also, the reason I am not interested in that turbo is because I would have to dent the waterpipe and I hate polished compressor wheels. The bullseye one comes out to be a hair over 800 while the RS49T comes out to be over a grand.

Thanks for the advices. My friend is selling me his brand new PTE 680cc injectors for 120 dollars. I know these aren't the best injectors, but is this still a good deal?It looks like my settup is looking something like this:JRC I/C T04b vtrim 680's, 255 rewired, afpr safcII and...

I would, but when you factor in the internal wastegate, oil lines and gaskets it turns out to be around 1k with shipping. I don't have that kind of money on me right now. Also, OBX intercoolers are backordered for about 2-3 months, so there goes my budget intercooling. ROFL

Very nice. My car looks similar to yours except mine is black. Props.

I believe so.

The reasons I don't want to mess with a ported EVOIII is because it is going to cost me more to get the turbo and install kit than it would to get me a 50trim. 650 from slowboy plus another 200 or so for the install kit. I can't shell out almost a grand for a turbo that will barely get me 300hp...

I am doing a budget upgrade for my 1996 tsi awd. I have all the bolt on parts save afc, injectors, and intercooler. I am running 2.5inch turboback exhaust.I plan on getting: t04b vtrim from bullseye and run it on my motor with 110k miles. I plan on making less than 20lbs of boost. I also...

I just didn't know how the external wastegate knew when to release the pressure, but then saw a picture of a hose going from the turbo to the wastegate... Guess that answered my question.

I am a little confused on how an external wastegate works. To my understanding all one needs is a turbo, a manifold with a place for an external wastegate and an actual wastegate. As in you don't need to hook up any lines from the wastegate to the turbo. Is that correct? Does an externally...

My tires desperately need to be aligned. I will be doing that Monday, but my question is: Does bad alignment/balancing affect the steering? I feel like my steering is a little loose. Could this affect it?

I just replaced my throttlebody and sensors last night. The car starts up just fine but likes to idle pretty high. It was idling at 1500 and then going to 2000. It bounced back and forth between those two. I think I fixed that problem, but now it is idling at around 1100 rpms and when I tap on...

I have a little rust. It is mainly on my underbody, around the where the shocks and struts are and around some screws. Is there a simple way of removing it? Are there chemical paints out there that can eliminate it?

I hate to benchmark, but how much power will be put to the ground? I am thinking around 240ish.

I've got all the supporting mods such as turboback exhaust, I/C piping and the like. I am now collecting the following parts: Fuel pump, evo8 injectors, SAFC, 14b, 1g TB, and possibly a front mount and better clutch. My question is, is this a good settup? I just want a mild build all across the...

My 1996 TSI AWD is running rich and idling funny. When I hit boost, I can sometimes smell gas and there is a relatively thick layer of soot on the muffler. I do not have a datalogger. I am running the stock turbo, and turboback exhaust with no cat. What could be some of the cuplrits? I have...

I have the same problem. What could be the cause?

The BISS is fine as far as wiggling. I should explain the situation better. It will idle at 1k after a little while and then will creep up to 1.3-1.5 and stay there until I tap the gas and it will fall back down to 1k and be just fine.

I finally got my car running the other day. When I crank it up the idle kind of jumps around. It almost stalls, but then catches and idles relatively smoothly at 1k. Then it will slowling climb to 1.3-1.5k and then slowly go back down. This happens after I have been driving awhile. And, what is...

Thanks for the links. I don't know how to change rotors or pads... Yet. I've managed to install nitrous and do a few turbo swaps without screwing them up. How hard can this be? And yes, I do have proper tools and jackstands.

I was afraid of that... Ok, so Brembo rotors here we come. Any guides on installing these? ROFL

Hey all. I have a 96 Eagle Talon AWD. It has been sitting in my garage for the past 6 months with almost no driving. The brakes were pretty decend before, and after taking it for a short drive-they suck. What could have caused this? The pads are in pretty good condition. When I brake the brake...

I am also wondering the number codes for these. H3's? There are (I think) 3 bulbs per headlight. Which ones are which?

Well, they fit the guy's 2nd gen GS. I could not find the offset and such.

I was talking about the rims fitting on a Talon

I have a quick question. My stock tires on my Talon Swirlies are about shot so I am picking up some relatively new tires that are on some 16 inch OZ F-1 rims tomorrow. I feel like I am getting a good deal, but want to make absolutly sure they will fit. I can not find too much information on...

How would you plug up these lines? I have a leaky one right now and would rather just not have it plugged in.

That was a hard BOV to install. I remember my mom helped me install it. ROFL
