Yup yup, I called the dealer and they quoted me 600.19 for all. Carrier bearings and u joints. I figured I can switch the u joints as well since I'm down there. But 600 is a lil too much for my budget so I'm just gona tipe in the part number that MIHI gave me on ebay and see if I can get them...

Ok, but wouldn't a unbalanced driveshaft vibrate at ALL times tho? Because if I take off slow all the way to 3rd gear and up to normal speed it doesn't do it. Only if I take off with a lil bit of boost and into 2nd then it does it.

No I haven't, ima check that and the u-joinst. Pretty much if the axle has any play is u joints right?

So I've searched and searched with no luck, most are just wheel related or differential related (vibration comong from the back) BUT mine is right underneath the center console, it literly shakes the whole centerconsole BAD! It only does it when I'm in 2nd gear like around 20-25 mph and it...

ooh ok, mines a 91. (door jam) but tittle says 92. and last time ive checked is 4/6 combo. no pop ups.

^^ ya i agree. i saw a youtube vid about it tho. they were messing with a turbo and they were using the vac to watch it spin lol. it was interesting. but anyways back to the topic, tomorrow im gona go to the ladys house and do the job fore her. i did the coolant test and sure enough bubbleing...

ROFL ok. ill do that and laugh my ass off. then ill let them know......"its the head gasket".

i TRIED to check the dip stick to see if i could see any coolant on there but that thing was EMPTY. no oil at all in there. so like i said i have no idea how long this thing is been runing like this. i dont even know how the car was even able to start this morning. and tsi1991awd, your talking...

so i came to a conclusion to this. is both!! turbo blown for lack of oil for sure. and head gasket for sure because coolant is getting into the crankcase (oil). i opened the oil cap and its got very light brown spots on it, clearly is coolant. i told her how much i would do the job for since its...

roll your window up all the way and u should be able to get it like that.

^^ yup yup. but it wouldnt throw white smoke right? (turbo) and should i consider the turbo gone by now? what u guys think?

k so im helping this lady with her car. shes got a 91 tsi atuomatic and she came to my work getting a head gasket. long story short im trying to diagnose her problem. when we started the car white smoke started coming out of the exshaust, and out of the hose that goes hooked up to the intake...

totally awd man. i got me a winner when i got my laser rst for 1000 bucks lol. it is clean, (virgin). i got it from a guy that sold it because he had kids and it was a pain to get the car seat on and off lol. but ya the lasers ARE rare. i have seen only ONE here in colorado besides mine. lots of...

local graveyard man.

ok gotcha. and no theres no nipple anywhere. so that means that ill probably gona have to drill a hole and tap one on the j pipe.

oh crap. now im screwed.

heres a pic of the controller and its got 3 hoses. and a pic of my elbow for my fmic. so the olny conections i got now is the one from the wastegate and the vacume hose that hooks up to the solenoid.

i dont know it its alright doing this with turbo cars but i had the same problem with my n/t 2.0, and all i had to do is flush the system and problem solved, even my heater was supper hot after that lol. Mine would overheat at stop lights and as soon as i started driving itll cool down.

ooh ok is see what your saying, so the ones for the canister just hook those two together right? can anybody else support this? and i do have an aftermaket boost controller, got it for like 20 bucks lol, just havent installed it. all i gota do is replace the solenoid with the boost controller?

hello dsm'ers i got a question with the hoses that i took off the stock intake hose and the 3 little vacume ones that hook on the the turbo elbow, wastegate and the ait filter. im runing gm maft so i will be replacing the stock intake hose with a sealed one with just a filter to atmosphere. i...

it was before but now that ive been using the universal switch is not. and i know for a fact it wont work when i hook it back on.

ive searched and searched but none apply to my situation, even used google. i know that ignition systems are pretty much the same for 2.0 to 1.8.....kinda. but heres the thing with my DD. ive replaced the starter with a new one from autozone, got working battery that holds the charge fine...

^^^ true, but before I tear stuff appart, I would like to make sure where is the damn starter relay lol ima google search it real quick.

Yup my dash and all lights up.

Its a distributor 1.8, not coils. Nothing electrical got wet. And if it did I would of noticed the difference when I pushed start it. Idle'd fine and ran fine. But as soon as I parked and shut off......doesn't start.

I replaced one in there (the only one next to the fuse box under the dashboard) and still no luck. Bt according to the haynes repair manual its underneathe the stereo. This is on a 1g.

Nope, just the outside. Where's the starter relay anyways guys?

So I have a problem with a 1.8 I bought. It started for the first 2 days I've had it. Bought it with a blown head so I fixed it and runs great! This morning I went to the carwash, turned it off and when I was finished, tryied to start it and nothing happened. All lights turned on but won't dimed...

oooohhh ok got it lmao and ya i got the whole thing at egay and it woks great. thanks man ^^:thumb::hellyeah:

i work at autozone and we sell the flowmaster mufflers and ive been thinking about putting two of those under there with a decent tip on there and fit in on the bumper, i wana get a deep dual sound on it, i like how the original poster's car sounds like but i like how the blue 1g looks like lol

ive been reading about it and it looks like a very good system but at the same time it looks very complicated IMO, messing too much with the computer and stuff and im not very good with electronics lol.like i said before im gona try doing a basic tuning with the maft and see how it goes with...

Newby question......what's speed density?

^^^ that's one other thing. Trans rebuild aren't cheap lol. I think I'm gona upgrade just the pistons and rods, leaving it at a 2.0 and upgrading fuel, t3/t4 turbo, exshaust and a/f management with ecmlink.And ya tht pipe IS low. I'm gona have to figure something out with that lol

alright cool cool guys thanks lots!! but once again....leaving the 500-600 whp aside lol. figured is a lil too much for a DD, got that. soo ecm link will do fo sho then :)

ROFLROFLROFL i already do have the damn ebay manifold crap hahaha just havent installed it. and i got a meghan racing downpipe also. not installed also. its just funny how many people fall for the damn manis.....like i did ROFLtrue true:sneaky: i even got the extension calbes to make it...

liquidx^^true....but 2 weeks ago i didnt have 1200 so i got the maft ### it seemed like a good option to tune at that time. but im gona try the maft first....install it and get MY own personal opinion about it. ive heard alot of good and bad stuff about it. sooo im gona try it see how that works...

:hellyeah:^^^ thanks man. here's some pics i would like to share with you guys. tell me what ya'll think....:rocks:pipeing made by a local muffler shop lol for 100 bucks.....so everything was custum made.

ya i kinda figured that......^^^ with the elevation thing. and by EVERYTHING I meant a complete cylinder head upgrade with cams and valves and stuff. i wasnt sure about the tranny. i got me a fmic now. but ya thanks guys. ill look around and seek my options.ya ive been almost 2 years in...

ok well i have a extra block and crank that i wana build. i just dont know where i should go with this build. i would like to get a 2.3 stroker kit and build it....but i wana know if its just a simple upgrade or would i have to upgrade EVERYTHING else in my car because of it. my goals are to get...

idk but automatic tranys are always a hastle...to me. plus in automatics people look at the shifting...if it shifts kinda hard or revs up high untill its next shift blah blah blah...my pont is, automatics are more trouble to mess with IMO. u see an automatic tranny go out ALOT faster than a...

im pretty sure (but i could be wrong) is your strut mount bushing thats gone man. but also check the ball joint as said above.

ecm was the hole problem guys lol. problem solved!!:DROFL

####ing A man!!!! I just wasted 2 precious hrs of my life reading this damn thread.I'm pissed!!Anyways.....Back to my 4g63T threads that make my day easyer

Miles on the motor and turbo are unknown guy dew to junkyard swap before I bought the car. I noticed because of all the bright orange markings everywhere on the motor. And ya I've had 3 people now telling me its the piston rings. Therefore I'm gona swap the motor with a known good one with...

ya i did the test right after i got from work so it was hot enought for the test. i still have the same problem so im just gona rebuild my motor here soon. thanks alot guys!!!

oh no theres no tickets but i cant get it registered without the emissions passed. wich sucks lol

No shaft play, at all. but oil comes out between the cylinder head and the exhaust mani in two cylinders, oil bubles on the gasket lol. also a lil of oil comes out through the intake side of the turbo. :confused: cylinder head was re-seald/gaskets about 4 months ago. when i drive it theres no...

Who in here doesn't have a turbo car? And I actually have 2 turbo ecus I can work with plus this non turbo eprom.

And will the knock board be all I need to swap on this one? Any other resistors or caps? I have another turbo ecm I can use to do this, non eprom so It can be done :)
