I've searched/googled and haven't found much that was conclusive. I was wondering if anyone here has used the Russel fuel filters instead of an OEM one? I mainly want to use a Russel because of the SS filter for use with e85. They say they flow up to 130gph, but I don't know how much an OEM...

I did some searching on here and found plenty about the front lower control arms, but not as much on the front uppers. I know people have found some issues with the Dorman lowers, but I believe Dorman also chimmed in on the convo and sent a revised part with a better weld as well. I've also seen...

Does anyone have any word on if/where we can get the turbines themselves? I'd really like to go with this turbine when I have my s16G converted to a TD05H 20G!KAMAK DYNAMICS - kamak on sema 2012 2nd WE ARE AT SEMA SHOW 2012 BOOTH 20163 LAS VEGAS CONVENTION CENTER

This was the best place I could find to post this. I was wondering what was recommended to fix broken off bolt holes that bolt the front bumper cover to the crash bar. Is this something any bodyshop can or do I need a fiberglass specialist? The bumper came this way when I bought the car and was...

I'm installing a 90 oil filter housing so I can use an air-to-oil cooler on my car. I just wanted to know what I should use to clean it off before installing it. It came off of a car with NO internal issues (like a spun bearing) so I'm not worried about metal shavings hiding in there, but it has...

First off, I have searched on here and elsewhere and did find a few threads related to this via dsmtalk, but I just wanted to make sure I was understanding everything correctly. I know since these cars were being manufactured many companies have gone with higher recommended psi's to help with...

Well the new six bolt motor is ready to go in and since the trans will be easily accessible when I pull the old motor, I thought this would be the opportune time to have the 4 spider center diff mod done since it wasn't done when the trans was rebuilt about 100 miles ago. The problem is that I...

Is/has anyone used these? Do they update the aero for better airflow since the billet is stronger, or are they the same aero as a stock cast wheel?

Been reading every article I can find about this comparison, not really satisfied with the info I've found so far...lacks context. Both turbos are well able to make my 350awhp goal with the HAT68 at 49lbs/min and Tue HAT Green at 54lbs/min, so that is not the issue. I'm more concerned about each...

So I have one of the chinabay air intake systems from chrome intakes. I like it and it's worked well enough. I did notice that it tapers down quite small on the turbo inlet side though. Right now I have a 14B so air flow isn't a huge issue, but when I upgrade the turbo setup I'll probably have a...

Can the stock BCS be hooked up the same way as a MBC? In other words...can you just run the vacuum line closest to the edge of the BCS to the wastegate and the other one to the turbo or does it have to have that feed to the air intake?

So I need to replace a rear wheel bearing on my AWD TSi but all I can really find are the bearing hubs without the portion with the wheel studs. Like these Timken 512181 Wheel Bearing - - - My questions is should I try get ones with the wheel hub/studs attatched or do the first kind just slide...

First off, yes I've searched the forum and read all the threads I could find about this topic on here and other forums, but I'm still unsure and want more specific info/opinions. The new 6 bolt motor is getting ready to go in and, obviously, I have to change the flywheel to a 6 bolt. I'm really...

Ok, so I know there are plenty of threads on here about power mirrors and the fact that they are basically a prop on DSM's (they never work), but I still refuse to except this. I've read through as many of these threads as I could find and subsequently did the following; -I checked the stand...

I just want to clarify and make sure I understand what I've read as nothing I found was written super clear IMO regarding this. I have done the 1G throttle body swap on my 2G Talon TSi AWD and have some idle issues. Mainly, when I have to let off the throttle fast the car dies. This happens when...

I tried reviving an older post with this question but I think the thread might have been to old for anyone to notice it. I know I want s TD05 20G, but I can't decide if I should get the TD05 or TD05H version. I've read a few articles on the difference between the two but still don't completely...

Ok I have my next $1k to spend and while I know what I want to get to start the upgrade process now that the tranny/drivetrain work is done...I just don't know the order to go in. As I've stated in previous threads I have a final goal of 350AWHP which I know means 20G turbo, MBC, bigger...

So here's the deal...Got a guy with a genuine EVO III 16G that was hot tanked re-manufactured that got damaged when shipped back to him. The extent of the damage is turbine fins bent/chipped, crack in the cartridge and nicks in the compressor housing from the fins...he's asking $125 but willing...

A friend of mine did me a favor and allowed me to use his hoist/tools to drop the trans for a clutch job and to look at what's goin on with 1st gear. I asked in a previous post what I should do while the trans is out and evo 3rd and 4th gears came up. While I'm grateful he did me a solid by...

Like the title states I bought my 2G awd Tsi with a 14B mod/upgrade already done to it. Since it's already been converted to the 1G style turbo setup would attempting to put a Big t28 just be a counterproductive headache? The only reason I ask is because I know the Big t28's are rated @ 350hp...

I have searched around here and found some inconclusive answers since they're not running same setup as I am/will be. I have a 14B turbo that is getting the 7cm(16G) hot-side upgrade. The turbo has no shaft play and spins very freely. I plan on working my way up to 20 PSI with a MBC, rewired 255...

Just had to vent...been going back and forth with this idiot about a race vid on youtube. It's between a 2g and a turbo'd Silverado. The truck of course gets a good jump on the eclipse from the roll, but the eclipse keeps catching up and passing him which is awesome considering the kind of power...

I will soon be putting in my new clutch assembly, the one listed in my profile, and I'm just wondering of this mod/upgrade will be worth the money, i.e. make my drive-train more durable/reliable? I've been reading about the mod on here but there are really no details as to how it's done or how...

I have tried searching and have found plenty of info regarding the different types of LSD and what the pros and cons are for all of them. My 96 AWD Talon has the rear VLSD, but I've gathered that it's pretty "useless" by the bashing it gets on here. My question is, for a mainly DD car that wont...
