I was wondering if anyone is using e85 and water/meth both? Or is water/meth strictly for pump gas??What would be better to run in a high 9 sec DD (closest e85 station is 1.5 hrs and I have a 55 gal drum to transport it)?? I plan on the car being drove at minimum 5 out of 7 days a week (for...
Hey guys, i have my built 7 bolt sitting in the corner of my garage with MLS headgasket and standard arp's torqued to 85-90 ft lbs I believe... well my build plans have changed and I decided to go big boost on a hx40 (40-45psi) so I bought some L19's to swap out for the standard ARP's and after...

Im getting ready to buy a speed density setup from ecm tuning and was going to order the mitsu style map sensor S.D. bundle. My questions are: 1) will I need the plug 'n play cable to make it an easier install or is the plug n play cable only for when using the gm style map sensor?And 2)...
Okay so my dad just bought a '90 tsi awd 5 speed a week ago. Well I was driving the car with him in it, not boosting, and the turbo inducer nut backed off and tried to get sucked through the turbo... luckily it didnt get sucked through but it completely trashed the 16g that was on the car...
I just bought my first 1g yesterday and noticed a few problems that installing my injen intake off my 2g would fix.I noticed the MAF on my '90 awd is much different than my 2g MAF's so my question is how do I set up an injen intake on a 1g? (Mainly MAF wise)Thanks!
Hey guys, sorry about the long post in advance. I just bought a '90 tsi awd today (my first 1g and first 5 speed DSM) for dirt cheap.... It runs and drives a little rough because the previous owner had installed a wally 255 in the tank and didn't have an AFPR to keep it from overwhelming the...
Hey guys, I have recently noticed my '97 awd talon has started leaking fluid, I have a feeling its transmission fluid because my trans slipped from 2nd to 3rd gear for the first time ever today. And its a stock auto with IPT shift kit and fluid & filter changed about 7k miles ago. (but I did...

Hey guys, feel dumb for asking this, like the title states. I am getting ready to tune in each of my brand new FIC 1120's with an individual flow match per injector so people can dial in their cars even better. So does injector number 1 mean it is on cylinder 1 and so forth??
Hi guys, ive read through how most people hook up their wideband to the ecu. Most put the WB wire to the ecu by removing pin 75 from the ecu connector and installing the WB wire in pin 75 connector and putting the pin back into the ecu connector like how this like states...

Okay guys I ordered dsmlink v3 full tonight and afterwards I installed my innovate lc-1 wideband to see how bad I need a tune and where I need to do some serious tweaking to make it run better after I get link. PLEASE chime in with some advice on what you would adjust and what you would adjust...
Obviously I have a boost leak somewhere or my gauge is bad (I hope not). My boost gauge is fine under vaccum but once I get under 7psi of boost or more it wobble +/- 3 or 4 psi crazy fast (like so fast its blurry).Does this sound like a boost leak at the back of the gauge, along the boost...
Just got my 97 awd talon up and running yesterday and was driving today. If I get under boost too fast in like first gear, the car sputters and backfires then clears up if I keep my foot in it. If I roll into boost its fine until above 6k rpm then it misfires. This happens at stock boost on my...
I just installed a wally 190 into my 97 awd talon.I cant for the life of me get the f*cking retaining ring to start on the gas tank so I can seal it. I have been trying for the last 2 hours to just get the retaining ring started so I can move on to my next task.as soon as I start to screw...

Hey guys i have my 97 AWD Talon all apart to do a FMIC install and a few other things before it goes back together.Well i contacted punishment racing about What i would need to modify to make their FMIC fit properly with an automatic tranny. They told me i would have to trim my UICP closest...

Ok so this is a wierd one and It's a pretty narrow solution. But doesn't explain why It's happening.Everything has been shifting fine since I got my new DSM up and running about 2 months ago. So after cruising earlier today I went home and kinda got on it and went thru 2nd and 3rd when I was...

Ok so I'm about to swap clutch packs on my automatic fwd to my auto AWD tranny and was wondering if I will mess up the seal that goes between it and the transmisson? I know that typically when the OD goes out the seal will get a little knick or be torn.I am trying to keep this from happening...

I'm getting ready to drop my fully built bc 288 engine into my stock automatic 97 AWD Talon.Before the engine goes in, right now would be the best time to put a stall in it so I can get a good jump off the line. And I didn't want to have to remove the engine just to put a stall in it in the...
