Yeah i think cugas would be your best bet my friends brother is heavier set and he had to resort to those aswel but he seems to like them alot.

Id go with the blue less common and i personally like it ALOT more!Best of luck to yuh!

AGREED! color coordination makes almost everything look better!

Great work! I wish i knew how to do this myself it would save me a boat load!

I agree great work! I may be interested aswel! shall i contact you for a price quote?

i agree here or craigslist! there always parting out cars on there too! and u wont have to pay shipping on here some guys may just give them to you for the price of shipping though which may be cheaper than craigslist!

I agree with this 100% ive helped paint 2 cars and we did what you did and put it down to the metal it was a bi*** after that but i agree with everything he says above.

All at once for sure! its very simple to do and if you did it separate ud have to take the head unit back out to wire the subs!

Im not 100% sure but i dont think it will.. im not a certain but if u absolutely have to have the aftermarket one just get another down pipe.

Same thing happend to a friend of mine on his 91 and it was the noise filter! so i would have to 100% agree with you here most junkyards should have one our po dunk town of 900 people had one haha so anywhere else should aswel he paid like 10 bucks for it or something.

IS there any like oil just sitting in the inlet of your turbo? if so that means your seals are broken and it would run really rich and smoke (not sure color) mine was doing this and it was definetly done bad shafplay and in and out. Id definitely check that aswel. correct me if im wrong though...

Agreed 100%

Haha my buddy bought one for abou tthe same price put a shitty body kit on it a fart cannon and a turbo it was actually quite quick considering they are light as hell! he even dropped 2grand on a paint job for it! its rediculous but i agree if u can get a car with 30+ mpg for under a grand or...

The alternator also could be dragging it down mine was doing that and after testing the battery it was the alternator and DSMS are notorious for bad alts. I would really recommend just puting a 96-97 galant ls alternator on it anyways even if it is not the alt it give out more volts fits...

Thanks lts hope thats a problem

Hx30. it is really bad though shaftplay in and out ect. but i have a newer big 16 with everything to convert. so wud it be worth my time to do the test or just replace it?

Alright how should I do that. haha sorry im only 16 i havent learned everything yet haha.

I dont think it is on..... And i have to shift really soon in every gear and then once i get to 60 it lags really bad it lags really bad in every gear before I shift. lag is i like jolting back in forth

Swapped ecus idles better but still burns kinda rich which cud be a total seperate problem i knew this was gunna be a project but damn lol so much more unexpected crapJust got back its not the ECU. only thing i can think is the turbo. wudnt that explian why it gets slugish at 2.2l rpm it...

I tried getting it outna di cant find the second screw worth sht idk why I got my buddies out with ease. but ill look at it again.

Pretty much besides the turbo sounds horrible as long as exhaust. It has all new hoses head gasket arp head studs New transmission. everything is practically new on that engine except the 75k block. The ecu was put in before I bought it. they thought the ecu was bad and i have the old one and...

I did a few searches about govenors but most are govered at well over 100. Mine seems to stop at 60 exactly or 2.8k-3k. Peddle to the floor I can not pass 60mph it does not fluctuate at all always 60 mph. its a 96 tsi AWD. The only thing I could think is it has a governor chip in it? The turbo...

I may not be a whole lot of help but the turbo is the only thing I can imagine especially with that smoke you described. take off the turbo intake and check and see if its blown. If it doesnt over heat and there's no oil in the coolant i doubt its the headgasket. it takes like 2 minutes to take...

Check your radiator after you drive it a little and see if it runs hot or cold. if it runs cold It is the thermostat im going through the same problem. It may not be letting hot water to cycle back through. also check and see if ## fans kick on (simple ik) but some people over look that just...

I wont't argue with that. But which would be easier to swap? an hx35 or big 16g?

the 16g was made for mitsu. and just generally any part that is made for a certain car will last longer than a part made for another? get what im sayin now? I prefer the hx35 aswel I just dont know what id have to swap out to put on the 35 thats the big question.

tdo5h big 16g. My buddy said it would last longer. but the hx35 has more power output. and a higher hp capability.

anybody have a link to "justins" page is he pretty fair priced? a few sites are 375 for the rebuild. I already have the big 16g and absolutely everything I need to swap so I coul djust sell that for what I paid. and rebuild the hx30. is the hx30 a stronger turbo than the 16g? I know the 16g...

Its the t3 tubular manifold. And from what i kinda figured out on my own it should be about the same amount of work considering ill have to buy and add a new intake. and will still have to practically disassemble the majority of the same parts. If I am wrong please correct me.

Okay So I have an hx-30 with shaftplay and I was originally going to swap it out for a big 16g. But I found an hx-35 at a pretty good price. I was wondering which would be easier to install? the hx-35 or the big 16g. I wasnt sure if I needed a new manifold, oil lines ect for the 35 or not. Any...
