Unfortunate, but on the bright side we risk it every time we slip the clutch on a hard launch, and I'd rather replace clutches than trannys all day haha. How long did the ACT hold up? It's what I have as well and I have no complaints yet with 20K miles Good luck on the new clutch install.

Just for comparison, since I just weighed mine:91 talon TSi AWD 3140 with no driver (calibrated truck scale)All AC components removed Cruise control deleted Full stock leather interior Spare tire taken out and battery re-located to the hatch Rear wiper delete Rota slipstream wheels 2 piston...

It's not a matter of being able to find one, it's just a matter of how soon and the condition.I just recently had a very fun time finding a non-cracked VC for my 4g63. I purchased two seperate VC's from reputable sellers on here....both cracked. Ordered one off Ebay....entire corner...

Yes the recirc tube is pretty close down to the turbo inlet on this one.

If I had a white engine bay that clean. I'd incorporate black, gold, and chrome:

Well, depending on how thorough you want to get, it should be a couple small bolts to get the cover off, I'd at least do that and just inspect the timing belt to make sure it isn't about ready to break. Then you could make sure hte #1 piston is at TDC and make sure the timing marks on each cam...

Honestly, I'd pass if you are just looking for a reliable daily. There are some better options out there. If you really want a talon, you don't want a non-turbo, don't lie to yourself.But if you really are set on this one: Pull the dipstick out, check the color of the oil Look around the...

Possibly a faulty coolant gauge sender? Does the car give any other signs of over-heating when this happens? Can you hear/see the coolant boiling?

I thought if for instance your coolant temp sensor tells the ecu the engine is overheating, the ecu would pull fuel?

can you post a pic of how you have your wastegate lines hooked up?

Well u didnt really need to take the turbo off to conclude it was siezed. But the good news is if you went through all of that, the next troubleshooting steps should be fairly easy haha.If it starts and dies, I would first suspect low fuel pressure. But low fuel pressure can be caused by...

I do watch this thread (you know since I created it) so you could ask me if you have a question to my thread, instead of refer to me as "he" and take jabs at me for being resourceful.Regarding JB weld use: I have to get by until my tuner/welder opens back up after the holiday weekend (I'm...

Well, for the time being JB weld epoxy is holding great for now on the SMIM until I can get it off and welded up correctly. Got the hood wrapped, hood pins in and the car is starting to look like the vision I have for it. Next on the list is some new pads/rotors and some suspension parts (lower...

Just an fyi for others that have this happen....JB weld aluminum epoxy holds 30psi on a BLT all day long and the car has power again. Not going to be a permanent fix (looks like hell on the SMIM with a blob of JB weld), but this will definitely get you buy until you have the time/funds to get...

I would assume ProEfi runs on speed density because I'm bypassing the stock MAF. The stock MAF is only there right now because I haven't replaced my dejon intake pipe yet and the filter doesnt attach directly to the intake pipe without the stock MAF adapter...it's not even plugged in. I do...
