I have been reading the ecmlink articles but I’m still confused. Can someone help me?95tsi with a 97 ecu with dsmlink. I don’t have cas on passenger side of motor.1. What should my plug order be? 2. Do I have to have the CAS inversion selected or not in dsmlink?Thanks

95 TSI with 97 ECU - Speed Density, FIC 1120's, 43.5 Fuel pressure Cranks and bucks like it wants to start, but doesn't crank fully over. Makes a weird winding type noise while cranking. Have tried multiple plug orders, currently its at 4-1-2-3 from right to left. Noticed at cranking, the...

95 TSI AWD - Car started and idled for about 30s before just dying. NOTE: I noticed my tachometer was not working and idle was pretty high, but I assumed it was due to the weather (Was about 20f out). Car would not start afterwards. I noticed this morning that I installed the WB incorrectly...

Is there anywhere to mess around with the settings while not connected to my car? As in, bring my laptop inside and make adjustments? I get a port error every time I click on anything.Thanks

I am getting this when trying to save to Ecu after trying to save data in the direct access tab. I am zeroing out the sdtempweigh columns due to not running an IAT sensor at this time. I’ve tried reconnecting, saving the file, and turning ignition off and on with no luck.

Just put the chip into the socket, but it looks like it’s sticking out a bit high? It won’t push in any further and I don’t want to put a lot of pressure on it. Thoughts?

95’ talon tsi M/T mostly stock. Found it unplugged. Lies right under intake, and is near MAF sensor. Added pictures.

I am fedup with breaking bolts and wanting an easy way out. Can I just drill out the broken bolts from hotside and just use a bolt and nut, or will that not be enough clamping force? I really have no desire to buy another set of helicoil if I don't need to. Thanks a ton, Kevin

Removing coolant lines from my turbo. Will be looping the 2 coming off of throttle body. Can I also loop the feed and return line that were on the turbo? Thanks

I am having a hell of a time removing that fitting on the bottom side of the water pipe. It's the line that runs to your turbo. I have been cranking on this fitting for a few days now and it just won't budge. I am turning the bolt clockwise seeing that it is upside down <--Is this correct...

Looking for any kind of feedback here. Working on a new car. Was smoking pretty good before I took the chinese turbo off. Valve cover was for sure leaking / has cracks, so I'm assuming the spark plug gasket could also be bad. When I noticed the smoking, I immediately thought of turbo, so I...

Kdouglas89 submitted a new DSM Profile :My 92' Eagle Talon TSIRead more about this vehicle here...

I have done timing on my old 2g several times, and never had an issue. I replaced the timing belt on my recent 1g. I took the tensioner off, depressed it, inserted pin, and bolted onto block. I am turning tensioner pulley clockwise, but there is never a point when the tensioner wants to free...

Hey guys, recently purchased a 92 talon tsi awd. I cannot determine if it's rod knock or the lifters. It sounds a bit louder than it should for lifters, but listening with a stethoscope, the lifters sorta sound insync with the noise.Things i've tried:Compression: 150 across the board...

Hey guys, not sure if this is allowed, but here it goes.I am thinking about buying a STI, and looking for a similar forum like DSM Tuners. Anyone know?

Hey guys, been in the process of installing an aftermarket oil pressure sensor / gauge. For my WB gauge I used my cigarette lighter location. I was going to tack it on there, but I accidently pulled the wiring apart, so now theres like 3 black and 1 blue. I have put a multimeter to each, and...

Hey guys,I purchased a tial F38 38mm wastegate during the off season. I installed it off of my o2 housing with my ported flapper hotside. I noticed that off just wastegate I was running 22lbs~ of boost, which was fine for the off season, and didnt hook up my Hallman MBC.The problem : My...

Just put the hotside back on. I plugged the dimple into the hole on the center section, and put the center ring back on.Is there supposed to be a gap between hotside and center section after its on and secure? The gap is maybe 3-4mm, definitely noticeable if you look at it.

Hello guys, gonna give basic run down of relevant mods followed by the question. My profile is updated with a complete list, just naming only things relevant.Built supertech head with HKS 272 Stock block Stock tranny Ported 16G, 1250 injectors, on 255 Dsmlink Speed density Running E85 on...

Car has been down for nearly 6 months while I have been upgrading. The majors I did was rebuilt the head with all supertech parts, and threw in some 272's. I also upgraded to E85 on FIC 1150's and a 255 pump. Also converted to SD. My ethanol rating is 75%, which is normal for my area.If it...

My AFPR is welded directly onto my fuel rail, so only lines attached are a vacuum, and a fuel return line.The fuel return nipple on the AFPR is much larger than metal stock line attached to the firewall. I did have 2 worm clamps attaching a hose to stock line, but since upgrading injectors it...

Was attempting to do the free FIAV bypass mod, and when I was trying to screw the valve down, it pretty much cracked the valve open. I am assuming that valve was already extremely weak.I just went ahead and purchased a bypass plate.Question: Can I remove the valve and spring completely from...

Car is a GSX.I just got done putting a new control arm on front driver side due to ball joint going bad. Was spinning the wheel and noticed that there was a loud noise like gears where hittin each other coming from inside the brake area.I also noticed with front side jacked up, if I spin...

I am starting to think my TPS is either bad, or not adjusted correctly. I adjusted it myself when I rebuilt my throttle body a few months back. Shifting doesn't feel right, and it seems under boost the shifting is delayed.Even if dsmlink is showing 0.63v and 5.0v at WoT, could it still be off...

To make things short, I took my head off basically I thought i bent a valve. Realized I didn't. I went ahead and upgraded valve springs, seals, and put a cosmetic head gasket on.The car runs like crap. Hardly any power. It idles fine in park, but once I put it in gear, the idle drops down to...

Took the head off my car, and cant find out where this sensor plugs in at? It leads all the way to the back of the block pretty much centered. Any help would be awesome, thanks!

So, my belt has been squeeking pretty bad, and I realised I can pretty easily move my alternator. For whatever reason, I dont have the tensioner on the alternator. I manually pressed down on the alternator, and tightened it at the pivot bolt before and that seem't to work but it no longer does...

I have every timing mark lined up, I just cannot get the belt back over the pulley.I have the tension tool with the 2 teeth on them, but I do not have the belt tensioner bolt that you use to release the pressure.Is there any other way to compress the pressure without the belt tensioner bolt...

Have been ordering from these guys for awhile now. Had to order some head parts, and I noticed another store was a bit cheaper. They did not hesitate to price match.I highly advise STM.Kevin

I fixed an exhaust manifold leak, and while in the process I converted to the evo stock timing table. I fixed everything, and I kind of had forgotten I had swapped tables. I was cruising around the neighborhood and did a few 80% throttle runs and all of a sudden everything started clunking. Very...

Fixed some stripped Turbo bolts. Torqued the manifold back on, did a heat cycle, and torqued again. Still the ticking. Sounds sorta like lifters, but I doubt it would start now.Would exhaust leak cause this kind of tapping?

3/4 Manifold to turbo threads are stripped. Been looking into one of those Heli-coil kits. From what I understand I need 10 x 1.25 kit, and a 11/32 drill bit?2nd - Do I just drill out old thread, tap the holes, and insert the helicoil fitting with some loctite?Thanks

Hows it look?

Anything look out of the ordinary?

I rebuilt because I was having a BL in my seal by the throttle springs. I replaced all seals, but I accidently removed the markings on my TB for the TPS with carb cleaner and didnt realize it till I went to assemble. So I pulled out my multi-meter and re-adjusted, which might have been a good...

I had my 2G last summer, and I replaced radiator.I replaced thermo, and rad cap just a few weeks ago, but i'm still nervous about this TN Heat / humidity.I have seen some people cut vents in their bumper, and I have highly considered it, but I really don't want to. I run about 210 at...

My multimeter just died.While idle, dash, headlights, tailights etc are all really dim. While driving everything brightens up. If I turn off car, it won't turn back on, even after a 30 min drive. The car does not die while running though.Belt tension seems fine Brand new optima battery...

If you are in the Clarksville / Nashville area, beware of this guy "Thomas Lewis" and his shop.I read the first thread about Thomas before I went there, but I was hoping it was just a bad experience. I had an oil pump sprocket break, and I had my car towed to him to inspect the damage. I...

Purchased a JDM motor from a shop for around $1500.00. It was supposed to have garaunteed less than 35k miles on it. They ordered it from somewhere in canada. I purchased it march 21st. They told me I had a 30 day warranty on the motor when I bought it. It took about a week and a half for them...

2g automatic. Profile is updated. Coolant temp is stupid high with fans locked on. Since ive put dsm link on car, its been smoking white.This is an idle log.

Purchased a fuel rail with a AFPR welded on the end of it. The guy said he got it in a trade, but never used himself. It's actually pretty cool how whoever did it, welded the gauge to the end.My issue is, I can only get 1, maybe 2 of the injectors to actually sit properly in the manifold...

I was having all the issues in the world just removing fuel pump with rusty fuel lines. Finally broke lines free, assembled fuel pump.I placed the rubber grommet over the fuel tank ring, and kept trying to just screw the cap on and it doesn't seem to want to. Is there some sort of truck to...

I am stuck on the flare fitting under the car. The lines are pretty old so I dont want to jerk to hard.I have vice grips on the 14 nut, and a 3/4 on the other.Does the 3/4, or the 14 rotate? and to be sure, it rotates counter clockwise "lefty loosey" correct?

**Need your help guys*** Title mistype.I am going to cut straight to what's going on.I had a shop order a JDM motor for me. I paid roughly $1500.00 for the long block. When I get home, I notice my throttle is sticky, and causing it to high idle. I can manually push it back, and its fine...

Last summer I replaced just about every coolant line. They were over pressurizing and popping around the clamp point. I am starting to get the same issues as before, and can not figure out why. I thought I might have been tightening to much, and they would expand and break. I tried loosening a...

I have a walbro 255hp, 550 injectors, and a AFPR staring at me waiting to be installed. My only issue is, a shop still has my ECU with dsmlink on it. I wont have time to get it for another week or so, but I am wanting to install these this weekend if possible.Should I be patient and wait on...

I purchased this from a member, who got it in a trade. My car is currently not with me so I can't see how this would possibly work??Member said he would refund if it didn't work, but I am curious on your guy's thoughts. "Welded on by the way".

I am typing from my phone, sorry if grammar is off.My balance shaft pulley snapped and I had it towed to a local performance shop. The pulley snapped in half. I am aware I need a total rebuild or a new motor. The shop said they could import a motor from japan that would garauntee to have...
