If your ac stays running after the key is removed then it sounds like you tapped into an accesory wire and not an ignition. Not sure if that would cause your problem for the countdown though?
:talon: I was curious if I should rebuild or just keep going with this turbo. It looks like it inhaled something but spools fine and has no shaft play. Is this common or really bad? What should I do now?
You need to bypass the factory amp I took out the amp and cut the large wire tested each one with a meter and found my speakers and ran that up behind the radio.
Okay I have the opportunity to buy a big16g with less than 1000 miles for 350.00. I was wondering what the best deal is for a 2g install kit. I am on a limited budget and don't want to spend more than I have to but I also want to make sure that it is done right. I would appreciate all the...
Well I drove the car to work this morning and I think the problem has less to do with seafoam. In first gear I get minor vibration but as I increase in speed I get more. I noticed that when I press the brakes I get a popping sound also. I will check this more when I get home but could this...
The blow off valve is the h and yes I do recirculate. I sucked it in through the bov line but should any come out at the downpipe even if I have a leak?
I just installed my intercooler pipes with my hks bov and I noticed no difference. I could hear my turbo spool but could bearly feel anything. I read on some of the forums and had been considering doing the seafoam to see if I could pick up anything. I did it this morning and while it was...
I finally lowered the Talon and now my rear camber is off. I was told that you could go to Home Depot and get a couple of bolts that will alllow you to fix the problem. Is this true and if so what do I get and how hard is it to do? Thanks in advance for any help that you can give. :talon:
Well for the computer side I would use the aem setup it comes with four preset programs with one of those being stock. You can tune this with any laptop that uses XP and they send you free updates every year. As for the donor good luck when my transmission broke my car was down for seven months...
I would only run synthetic in any turbocharged application not because of a performance issue but more reliability. I have used mobile1 or amsoil in my car and have had no problems or gains for that matter. :talon:
Okay I just bought a new 3" downpipe to go with a catback that was installed by the previous owner. When I removed the factory and tried to bolt up the new one it was about 3-4 inches to long. The previous owner had replaced the motor and the turbo before I bought the car is it possible that I...
I can't really tell where it is coming from all I know is that I only feel it when I turn the controls on defrost and the ac lights up it doesn't do it on any other setting before defrost
I have a 97 tsi that has no ac. It has all the components but the compressor and dryer need to be replaced. There is no belt on the ac compressor. My question is that when I turn on the defrost I get a vibration that I can feel in the clutch and the brake. I have been told that when a engine is...
Well I was coming home from work today and decided to really get into the boost and when I shifted my car died. I popped the hood only to find that my bov was sitting on top of my manifold. OOPS! I guess that wasn't so tight. After adjusting that it sounds much better. Go figure. :talon:
I'm going to buy a new o2 housing and I was thinking about buying one with a o2 dump. I did a search but can not find a decent vidoe that has good audio of what it sounds like. I've heard that they are extremely loud. Does anybody have any audio clips or opinions on the dump system. :talon:
I just bought this aluminum intake on ebay and put it on my car today. It seems as though my car runs sluggish with it. I checked all the fitttings and everything seems to be tight. My autometer boost guage is maxing at 15 just as before but it seems slower and my blow-off valve is muck quieter...
Can I get an aftermarket wastegate that will keep up and that I can use on a upgraded turbo like an evoIII 16G and if so how much trouble is it to use one on a stock turbo?
I just purchased a stainless steel 3 inch downpipe from Megan Racing. I got it shipped for 83.00. I've heard that I will suffer from boost creep is this true? I still have the stock turbo. What should I get to avoid boost creep, Waste gate? I was also wondering about removing the tube that goes...
I have an Autometer Lunar series guage. I'm not seeing any boost in first it reads zero. In second I have seen about 5 lbs. Third pulls great and makes up to 15lbs. I have no smoke the turbo and exhaust are pretty new less than 70,000 miles. I haven't noticed any spool up problems but I guess I...
Why Does My Car Not Make More That 5lbs Of Boost In First Gear. Is There A Way To Increase This Or Is Not Possible. My Car Does Not Seem To Make Much Boost In First Or Second, Third However It Makes Plenty. I Have A Manual Boost Controller With The Boost Set At 15psi On The Stock Turbo.
We looked in the transmission and could see nothing that would seem to come out. I just talked to someone that told me that Eagle was known to swap the drivers and passengers side. Does this sound right?
I dropped my Talon off last Monday to have the drivers side front cv axle replaced. I have ordered 5 axles which have all been wrong. The ones that I have ordered have male ends going into the transmission the one that came out has a female end. I cannot find the right one anywhere other that...
It sounds like one of you acc wires is tagged wrong or the alarm is usually tied to a door trigger which works off the dome light. Check to see how long it takes for your interior lights to go off. Mine stay on while the tt is running. If that is the case then when the tt goes off and it takes...
You might want to check where the antenna is installed. If the antenna is not installed in a good location like the front window then that will decrease the distance. Some installers are lazy and will stick it under the dash or under the headliner both of these will decrease range.
Just so you know a TT can be wired up with relays to work with any alarm systems. I know because I manage a car audio and installation bay. If you need help let me know what alarm you have and what TT you have along with the vehicle year and model and I will send you the diagram...
Yeah this older man has his own shop and his guys do great work and they stand behind their work. Best part is that when he gives a price he does it for that price. No hidden charges.
Well I found out that it was a cv axle. The boot has ripped and had slung all the grease out of the top side. A local shop is going to put a new one in for 75.00 labor and a new axle from Napa was 95.00. I do appreciate the reply though.
I was driving home last night on the interstate and everything was fine. When I got off the interstate and started to slow down I noticed a vibration. When I came to a stop the vibration was still there but when I put the clutch in it went away. When I started off the car seemed to struggle and...
I HAVE A NIPPLE ON MY INTAKE THAT HAS NOTHING GOING TO IT. THE VAC. IS LEAKING UNLESS I PLUG THIS NIPPLE. IT IS LOCATED NEXT THE THROTTLE BODY BY THE THREE SMALL LINES. CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THIS LINE IS OR CAN SOMEBODY POST A CLOSE-UP PIC OF THEIR INTAKE. I POSTED THIS ON MACHV...
