Very simple question...just want to know if the trans needs to be out for a shift kit install. Thanks.

I have a 1g AUTO Talon awd tsi. I have two questions. First I was having issues with the car and it wouldnt start to get it back into the garage. So I put it in neutral and eventually got it into the garage. After 15 minutes I see a huge puddle of trans fluid on the ground. It was leaking...

I've looked over a good bit of cyclone threads and none of them have answered my question yet. I just got an intake from a guy selling a ton of 1g parts but didn't really know what he had since it was given to him to pay off some debt. Anyway the intake says turbo intercooled like other...

Ok guys. I just bought my new 91 awd tsi from a member on here and it has some issues I need to figure out. He says it's probably a TC issue but Im not so sure so Im looking for opinions.Things he already checked before it was sold to me are boost leak check, all sensors, TCU, ECU, spark...

I had a tranny put in by some kid who well the deal ended in bad terms and him having it 7 months. So anyway, I get the car back and it seems to slip up to like 2.5-3k. I dont think it is in limp mode because when it does go I can manually shift it and it'll downshift into the next gear when...

Ok I dont think there is another section for this so Im going to post it here. If it belongs somewhere else, please move it. Anyway this is for a 1G. I already cut the premade harness off but took notice to the fact that odd combinations of wires were paired together. Not the usual white/red...

I have an 95 AWD TSI Automatic. Im wondering if I can use a tranny from a 2G FWD to replace mine. It might be a really stupid question but couldnt hurt to ask. Let me know

Are the 1g and 2g tcus interchangable by any chance? I have a problem with my 2g and it seems as though it is stuck in limp mode. It will slightly engage when in the L position but still act as though it is in 3rd only because you can keep it in L no matter how fast you go. Leaving it in D or...

not sure if anyone will help out on this or not, but my 95 auto tsi will hardly move. Reverse is perfect but throw it in drive and it engages down low but just enough for it to barely move till the revs climb too high. As the revs come back down, you can really feel it engage which is wierd...

Wondering if anyone can possibly diagnose this for me. The knock is pretty intermittent but it just got worse today. It gradually is getting a little louder too. If I get up to speed, and let off it will do it a little bit but very very faint. If I give it just the very slightest bit of gas is...

The title of my thread is what code Im getting from the CEL. It's P0505. When using the scanner it told me that there is an idle control system malfunction. The thing is that I havent noticed any problems at all with it idling differently etc. Is there something that really needs...

Ok this question will seem easy to most. All my other cars I have use the the key to on and off 3 times and the CEL light will blink to show its code. Well I tried that on my new 95 tsi and it does not work that way. Can someone tell me how to check the codes on a 2G? Thanks

Ever since I did my 16g install, Ive been having a noise like a supercharger in the engine bay. The SC noise started when I would hit boost. It boosted fine and held it, but just didnt seem to have the pickup my gsx did with just about the same mods. Now the car will not boost at all. The new...

Ok well I installed my small 16g and now I have this bad whining sound as soon as boost starts. One thing I do know is that one of the bolts broke off that connects the turbo to the O2 housing. Im not sure if that causes the noise or not. It kind of sounds exactly like a supercharger. Every...

does anyone know where i can get the bolts and water lines that can can go on a 16G turbo?? i just swapped out the 13G and put in the 16G and had no idea that the bolts and lines weren't the right size. right now the water lines are blocked off but i dont wish to drive the car without water...

OK... this is a silly question here. When I bought the GSX I have right now it had a small 16g on it. At the time I didnt think much about it but upun installing the turbo in another car I realize that the water lines were not hooked up for the turbo. I cant hook any up to this turbo because...

Well I just got a 2 1/2" turboback custom done by a local shop where I live. After it was done, I took it out for a drive. I notice this hollow whistling sound like someone blowing over a bottle. Anyone EVER have this with a new exhaust? Is it something else besides the exhaust maybe...

I have a question whether a Trust catback is the same thing as Greddy. I bought a car that the guy said it had a Greddy SP 2 1/2 inch catback on it. Well I polish up the muffler and it says Trust on it. Trust's website looks like it is in Japanese so I cant really find out what type of...

Ok Ive been reading up a little on this and I think it is ok to do the following. Well first off the car is a 93 awd tsi AUTO. So I still have the 13g and 390cc injectors. Is it completely ok to swap in my small 16g, 450cc injectors and manual ecu in and not have to put my S-AFC on yet? I...

Im not really sure what to search for here so I decided to start a new thread. Im trying to find out what kind of gains that can be had just on a stock dsm w/ boost controller and gauge. Yeah I just have a 13g on the auto right now since I got it 3 days ago, but I'll be putting my ported 16g...

I was just curious as to how many possible things could create zero compression in a cylinder. I already know the obvious like the rings are bad or a blown piston. Could there be something easier than that which would show me the problem? Im wondering because I have zero compression in one of...

I was wondering if anyone has had experiences from that website. They have a JDM 1g engine with turbo and tranny for 1300 bucks. Im new to DSMs but that sounds like a damn good price to me. Is it too good to be true or am I not noticing something there?

Ok I got some questions that can hopefully be answered. Well I just bouoght a car off of a fellow DSMer on here and I think I got a terrible car. After only driving it 4 or 5 times, it has already given me a ton of trouble. Oil is leaking from everywhere possible it seems on this engine. It...
