I'm excited to see how I do with this one. He built me an HX-40 in a .70 ar T3 housing 10years ago, it was a pump gas (91) tune. It wasn't a fast spool but eventually made around 460whp est... I think I'd be happy with that out of a 20G at some point.

From Justin: Internal gate housing for the larger TF06 spec turbine, KTS D655C compressor on an Xona style 54mm turbine in a new stock cover with a 7cm2 housing with a nice sturdy internal gate. From what Justin was explaining to me (and by no means to I have any great understanding of turbo...

Stapl3, I appreciate your Captain Obvious post here. If I could change the post title to: Have a custom 20G on the way, I would. To your point on the EvoIII 16g, do you have any experience with your car showing 42 lb/min? If not, why would you comment that? Do you have verifiable proof of a car...

"Big 16G compressor is rated a 38 lb/min, so roughly 380hp if your tune is perfect and all the stars have aligned."So maxing the Evo3 16g would'nt be good long term even if you could get one to run that. I was referring to a good tune with reliable 400+WHP Setup, hence the 20G custom turbo...

I hope so, currently stock intake, stock cams, but going full e85 Flex Fuel tune.

UPDATE: I got to talking with Justin Whitesell/JusMX141 (look him up on FB for all your DSM Turbo needs), I decided to go with a full custom 20G setup from him, versus the FP BB Green. Saved me a ton of $$! Justin can't really touch or maintain some of the newer DSM turbo's coming out of FPs...

Yeah FB Messenger is a good path, he is currently building me a nice 20g, so reach out if you need something...

I will let you know how it runs. Yeah, I thought they marked the BB variant of the Green down $600, so it came in almost $200 cheaper than the journal bearing version. I need to understand the pro's/con's of the UHF 57S turbine wheel vs the BB version of the Green I purchased. Should I have gone...

There is an HX-35 in the BEP housing for sale on the classified forums right now (https://www.dsmtuners.com/marketplace/holset-hx35-with-bullseye-dsm-bolt-on-turbine-housing.6449/). I purchased my car it had the Mitsubishi style manifold and housing. It came with an FP manifold. Saved me a ton...

I did contact Buschur the other day about 1G Catback systems, (that is all I ran back in the day), they emailed me back that they are now making them again to order if you need. Full kits as well. Good luck...

I've been debating back and forth on which turbo I upgrade to (car came with an evo3 16g, but I just sold that). I purchased my third 1G last August. I've been out of the DSM game for about 10 years now. I'm older and wiser on how and what I want to spend my money on (or at least I think so...

OP I feel your pain. I've been in and out of the DSM community over the last 3 years. I've owned (3) 1G's so far, just picked up my next one last year, it was stock. I decided as I've gotten older to build things more myself, learn new trades, and be more patient. So I knew I was going to...

UPDATE: Justin just confirmed its an EVOIII 16G, thanks!

Help me ID this one. Just purchased the car, owner stated it was an MHI Evo III 16g but I have my doubts, there isn't a number etched into the compressor housing. Hopefully I don't have to take the v-band clamp off to i.d.Thank you all in advance for your help... Mike

OP, I am glad you posted on this subject. I picked up my 3rd DSM back in July, been out of the DSM game for about 10 years. I'm older, smarter and wanting to build my car right. My goals is a 500whp + e85 car. Been looking at the HX-35 or HY setup. Of coarse I plan to work with JusTurbo's to...

Hello OP, I live in Wichita and I have a 90 TSi I just purchase a couple of months ago. This is my 3rd DSM. This forum is a good source for everything, take time to research and see what all is available. Good luck and reach out if you need.-Mike

Hello,I was taking my electric fans out and completely broke the lower radiator temperature sensor on the passenger side. I appears that I broke off the prongs, and messed up the factory harness that clips into the sensor. I'm having a difficult time finding the sensor, let alone a replacement...

Hello All,Just acquired a 1990 TSi. I've owned 2 other DSMs before this one. As I am older, I'll be taking this car much more seriously, as they are getting more rare and are becoming, arguably, more important (to me at least). The car is basically stock, stock injectors, FP Manifold, stock...

This is the Build Thread for Mike's 1990 Tri-ToneTSi. Reply below.

Thanks I will try this

So I put on brand new PTE 1200's. I used Vasoline to installed the injectors in the fuel rail. Every month or so I have one injector that springs a fuel leak on the fuel rail side. I pull the rail off and pull the injector, its always looks like the o-ring is trashed, but they were new when I...

Its a 1G, again I don't mess with the tuning much. It doesn't know real bad but as it gets warmer I'm seeing some.

I AM NOT A TUNER :D Now that being said I can build the car mechanically but not much of a tuner at all. Ricky tuned my car on pump 91 because thats all I have avaliable. So as it gets warmer and the intercooler is heat soaked I do get some knock. So the question is if I add a gal of race fuel...

:hellyeah:

Best: 1.70 Worst: 1.97Was thinking a race gas tune, but that might push the boundries of the stock bottom end. I also noticed that on the 2-Step it only makes 2-3psi before I launch. I have to ride the clutch out some to get a faster 60' time, the faster I let the clutch out it would tend...

It is a manual, and crank it up to 35+ psi on pump gas??

Didn't know what everyone thought. Stock bottom end 1G, 272's, HX40 .70 a/r, 30psi, went 11.64 @124mph. I am pleased, but my 60' are all over the place. Didn't know if that was good or not. Street tires as well! :hellyeah:

I am changing my head gasket and was trying to identify the piston and if I have a standard bore or has it been bored. From what I'm reading these are 2G pistons standard bore, I just used my micrometer to measure the bore. I didn't use a bore measuring tool. This is in my 92 1G. Any help would...

Honestly I don't know what I'll need, not a cylinder head guy. The most expensive part of that $600 quote was the valve job, but how do I know whether or not I need one? I do know I want to upgrade my springs and freshen it up while I have it off. So I'm not opposed to just getting it surfaced...

Will do, Clutch GSX has been PM'ed.... :hellyeah:

I smoked my head gasket the other day (hit 40psi on accident, opps!), I know the head has been on the car for a while and its stock. So I called the local head shop and they want $600 for a valve job and resurfacing, the basics to put the head back into shape. I'm like OMG, so I started calling...

Can I get your help on this I'm so sick and tired of fighting this BS! I've gone through (2) turbo flange T3 gaskets. First one was a ebay stainless steel mesh deal, it blew, then I bought a .050" thick SS one from Extreme PSI and its not sealing. I have a brand new T3 .70 ar and new ERL...

Yes no leaks

I just changed my turbo setup from a BEP .55 HX35 to a BEP .70 HX40 with a new manifold and 3" Vband downpipe but I changed nothing else. Now I have to crank it over and over before it will start. Or I have to key it 3-4 times then it will start. Why is this happening, it started perfectly...

Thanks for the help guys!My local parts store should have the helicoil kit for my thread pitch and size right?

Where these studs factory? If so can I just get one from the local Mitsu dealer?

I assume my local part store has that. Wonder if I can do that with the manifold on the car?If my stud ends up being bad where do I get another one?

I put on my new ERL manifold and one of the studs just kept on spinning, and spinning and spinning. What is the best was to repair the threaded hole in the head to fix this issue?

This is driving me nuts. I just welded up a new 3" downpipe V-Band to my HX40 .70ar BEP housing. I bought a new ERL cast T3 manifold put everything together and I have a slight sound of an exhaust leak. Now I didnt' think this was a bid deal at the time, when I bolted the manifold up to the head...

If those values wont work if I have it disabled how does it work for you now? I'll try it when I get home tonight.

So I installed the IR BCS from Link but the solenoid still isn't working. I did a battery test and the solenoid works. I checked continuity of the ecu wire into the engine bay, its good. So can I only assume since the ECU isn't tripping the ground signal that I have a bad driver? I went to the...
