The alternator could be grounding out on your intercooler piping...if you have a short route setup that runs close to the alternator. Excessive heat can also cause alternators to fail early but thats normally over some time. Those are the only two ways that i can think off that could kill your...

The noise sound that you hear in the center console might be the MPI relay which is located close to the ECU. there are multiple things that can cause a battery drain. Here are some things to check Battery (you replaced) Alternator (you replaced) Ground Wires 100 Amp fuse in the fuse box to the...

Hey i understand where your coming from. I have an 02 lancer non turbo. As far as exhaust look on youtube and see if you can find a few videos. The non turbo exhaust are normally a bit louder. ebay is another ok source. I have a Greddy cat-back exhaust on my lancer, but thats what i wanted

I just checked the part numbers and they are all the same for the TSI models from 91 to 94. So to answer your question yes. I would just buy a new one to be safe. As far as the zapping situation i dont know.

It all depends on if your launching or not, driving the car like normal or beating the piss out of it. I would say about 350 if you want it to last for a bit. 350-400 is a gamble and anything over 400 you would want something built.

Did you have any luck checking the pins and voltage to you OBD II port?

There are a lot of things that you could do. I would first look at the upgrade path section here.Tech Guide: 1G 4G63t Upgrades - DSMtunersfirst you need to know your goal!! Drag, street, autocross....etc. then decide what path you want to take. Search the site there are tons of posts here!!

I would shop around. You can get the piping cheaper. Make sure when you purchase intercooler piping, it has a bead so your piping doesn't blow off under boost. An the piping is Aluminum. There are vendors and sites that sell the full kits for 350 on up.Here are a few links: Intercooler Pipe...

Is this every time you start your car or only if its been sitting for a few days? How long does the tick last? What kind of oil do you use?

First i would check the wiring. Pins come lose, get bent and things get disconnected all the time. Did you check the pins in your link cable? Do you have an electrical diagram for your car? Its going to be a pain in the ass..

Send me a PM with you email and i will send you a copy of some of the electronic manuals i have..

If you don't have any problems I would stay 7.... The only real problem that could occur in the future is Crank walk. Besides that you will be fine!!http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-engine-fuel/342560-crankwalk-depth-explanation.html

I say the 80/20 rule. Invest 80% of it, you never know whats going to happen. Then spend 20% on your car!!

I would personally pull the whole thing out. There are tons of moving parts and 65 isn't that slow!!Sorry i didnt realize the hole was from the CV-shaft!!!
