Go to strictly import motorsports website for the arp head studs, that's were I got mine for my 6bolt they have them listed and they were a good price too, don't remember exactly how much but was cheaper than most places, and as for the timing tensioner it has a hydraulic tensionor, Goodluck...

Ok so I'm putting some revised lifters in, I found some deccent prices on eBay but I was wondering wich would b better quality, Topline or Itm? Or if anyone knows of any other brands that are good quality for around the same price please let me no, thanks

Ok thanks man, I appreciate it

I have a 6 bolt that I just had bored .020 over, I have oem .020 oversized pistons and Hastings .020 oversized piston rings, my gap on the top ring is .015-.016 an the bottom is around .016-.017, my question is what is the proper ring gap for this combination, I see a lot of different people...

Ya Dont go with eBay suspension, I have never saw Good eBay suspension yet, pay the little extra for your safety, ride quality an just better overall quality

I would just use a exhaust clamp as shown in the 1st post simplest way I no of, u pick one up at your local auto parts store for a few bucks, just make sure you no the size/diameter of your exhaust, so you get the rite size clamp

Ok I've been buyin parts to do my 6 bolt build for my 93 tsi I have everything I need to put it back together except for a new oil pump an a balance shaft eliminator kit and my funding kinda ran out, so my question is, is there anyway I can check my old oil pump to see if it's still in good...

If you are using the cosmetic gasket make sure the head and block surfaces are almost a mirror finish, also u said you replaced the timing belt and water pump not long ago but what about all the other timing components like tensioner pulleys sprockets ect. An also I would do the oil port...

Ok that's what I was thinkin, so that's all I would have to do then, is just drill it an tap it to fit a fitting?

Hey guys, I have a n/t 6 bolt I built an turned it into a turbo 6 bolt for my 93 tsi, my question is can I use the n/t oil pan? An if so what do I need to do to it to work on a turboed engine?

You didnt install the thermostat backwards did you? Laught but I have seen many people do this and cause it not to open and overheat the car.

In neutral the main shaft in the tranny is still goin to spin your gonna have to keep the clutch pushed in to keep from anything in the tranny turning, but just to start it up to see if it runs you should be fine just just leavin it in neutral for all the longer it goin to be runnin, it's not...

From the top they look brand new lol, push down on your hatch A few times hard enough to make it move up and down an if the car keeps bouncing say 3 or more times after you stop then the struts are shot, does ride like bouncy or rough?

Do u have cheap suspension on the back? Like from eBay or something? My buddy had a 2g talon that did that and he had cheap a## eBay coil overs an we changed them back to stock and it took care of it. If u don't have cheapo suspension, the probably needs aligned, as stated befor I would jack the...

Ok I'll check eBay out thanks, and ok I got what your sayin thanks a lot guys, I thought wideband was gonna cost me a lot more that it accually is lol

Ya he's cheap as hell, and I'm not really sure I didn't get it done just ask what he would charge me for it if i wanted it done later down the road when i upgrade my valvetrain when I picked my head and block up an he said $65-$80 I can ask him though and let ya know, I'd say it's probably old...

Ok I just checked out a bunch of kits an I think the one I'm going with is the innovate Mtx to me it's sounds like the best way to go, and I can get it for $189 on MVP motorsports website, is that a deccent price for this setup? When u said keeping my stock narrow band did you mean just leave it...

There's a shop up here called AMS the guy has been doin engine machine work an building engines for 40 years that where I get all my machine work done, he does a great job and is buy far the cheapest place I know of, just got my block and head back last week, he bored the block .020 over, decked...

Lol thanks for all your input guys, and my guage dosent have the digital numbers just a light bar so guess its narrowband wich sucks, but Anyways I'll check out all the options you guys gave me and see what I like the best and can afford. Thanks again

Ya Im gonna get wideband, just wasn't sure if I already had it and if i didnt have it if I could use my gauge with a wideband o2 sensorOk thanks for the info I'll check them out and see wich I like the best, thanks again

Ok so I bought a 93 talon tsi about 6 months ago, it was blown up when I got, so Ive been buildin a 6 bolt for it and basically redoin the entire car, It came with a autometer boost gauge and autometer pro-comp ultra lite afr gauge, my question is does this mean I have a wideband? And if i dont...

I would just try some other auto parts stores, like advanced auto, napa, car quest, or any other local auto parts around you I'm sure someone will have one, that's probably your best bet

Yep no problem, goodluck with the turbo hunt let us know what u decide and how it turns out

JUNK!!!! DO NOT BUY THEM!! My freind bought a set an it's the roughest noisiest ride I've ever had, it rides so rough it just destroys the car, do your neck and back and your car a favor and don't buy them

I accualy just sold a big 16g to my buddy for his 1g auto tsi and he wrecked the car rite before he put the turbo on, it only has maybe 500 miles on it it's like brand new, he accually wants to get rid of it, he only want $110 for it he has it posted in the classified section along with a lot of...

I'm goin to have to agree with a clogged vent somewhere, it rly does sound like the fuel system is getting vapor locked, I would check the vent in the fuel tank, when you put fuel in it at the as station does it ever click the gas pump off like the tank is full when it's accually not full? If it...

Measure the inline pump and Cut a section out of the fuel line to the correct length, install your fittings on the line and connect the new fittings to the pump, not sure exactly what you are asking but hope that helps, good luck

Agreed, start lookin for a new man, what turbo are you running now? And what turbo you looking for?

My buddy had a 2g that did the samething, it ended up bein the crank sensor, took us forever to figure out, if that dont do it, buy or borrow a scan tool/code reader and see if anything pops up, it deffenitly sounds like a sensor of some sort to me though

Check spark on that cylinder as stated and also check to make sure the number 1 injector is getting power at the plug to make sure it's getting fuel, also run a compression test on that cylinder, after you do all of that you should be able to narrow it down to wheather its a spark, fuel, or...

Are 3rd and 4th gear on the same shaft in the transmission? Of they are could be a bearing going out on the of the shaft, is there any grinding when up or down shifting between 3rd and 4th if there is could also be a synchronizer, goodluck let us no what u findout

Try another throw out bearing, I had the same problem installed a new throw out bearing an samething, I took it back exchanged it an it went away it was a faulty throw out bearing brand new from the auto parts, atleast you wolnt be out any more cash that way even if it dosent work, if it dosnt I...

Thanks Alot guys, I really appreciate the info, that's what I kind of did was got all these bolt ons full 3inch, pte gt3255, pte fmic, port polished head, .020 over pistons ect. and built the engine 1st and now I dont have anything to tune with, I'm kind of new to the tuner world, I've always...

Thanks for the info, I been Saving up for v3 and to get my ecu socketed, just wasn't sure if it wld run with my stock mass airflow, bc I was reading about what i needed an people were sayin about needing maft or gm maf or speed density and all that and the more I read the more confused I got...

Hi, Im just wondering what all I need to properly install an use dsmlink on my 1g talon? I know I need to get my ecu socketed an need a laptop, but like what all sensors and cables an that sort of stuff will I need? Or will my stock sensors work? I beleive all the sensors such as mass air is...

Thanks justin I appreciate all the info, I'll check them all out and see what I like an can afford

Ya good point, that sucks I really liked that turbo, any suggestions on something similar to the gt3255 that has a stronger thrust system for a deccent price? You really have a lot of good info man hope Im a Dsm god like that someday

It wasn't the rebuild kit I was getting bearing an seal sizes for gpop shop an i didnt realize the nut on the compressor wheel was reversed thread till I alrdy snapped it off, this was a very sh###y day, so I'm guess a turbine shaft is pretty pricey? Just sucks that Presicion is so stingy about...

Ya I should have deffenetly done that because I just broke the shaft tearing it apart, this is a nightmare

Awesome thanks a lot man greatly appreciated

Ya man the cheapest way to go is just get a long screw driver or some kind of crow bar or pinch bar an drive it into the guts of the cat an knock them out

Everyone I've ever known always just used what we call a pickle fork, they make all different sizes for different sized balljoints an tierod ends, u could pick one up at about any parts store, it just has like two wedged fingers that go around the balljoint/tierod end an there's a long handle...

Ok thanks guys didn't figure they wld be any good was worth a shot tho, and ya I couldnt find parts for it anywhere an I called pure turbos an he said the only way to get a rebuild kit witout sendin it to Pte is to use a garret gt35 rebuild kit he said the internals are the same, believe me I no...

Ok thanks for the info, I was just kinda sceptical because there's a big difference between $165 down to $20 for two different kits that include the same parts

Ok so I'm wondering if anyone has used eBay turbo rebuild kits and if they are any good? I have a Pte gt3255 wich is a journal bearing turbo, the guy at pure turbos told me I need a rebuild kit for a garret gt35 an it's $165 on there website, but I found the samething on eBay for $20 I believe...

Ya man I don't think Ive ever been so anxious I just wanna drive it, it drivin me crazy, an thanks for the tuning info

Also along with everything said take a half inch drive ratchet or breaker bar with u an c if it even turns over, an make sure it's not locked up because sittin that long if there was any moisture in the cylinders the rings may be corroded to the cylinder walls or cld b rust on the cylinder walls...

Not Quite sure on the prices but I no they are expensive so id say you deffenitly did good, an ya sawing that lil bit off those ears doesn't hurt anything at all, but ya that was the cheapest an easiest way I could come up with while doin mine

Ok thanks for the info greatly appreciated I havnt even started the car yet, still have to get a few odd and ends before its goin, this is my 1st turbo dsm build, when I bought the car it was blown an in pieces I have a lot of time and money into her so I'm glad I got this info before I ended up...

As stated before if it's not boiling over its not overheating, try letting the car run and see if it accually boils over, if it does then start with your thermostat ect. And as for the coolant stayin the same level with the cap off it will until the coolant reaches a certain temperature an opens...
