Hey guys I've been out of the dsm thing for a while, but I could possibly still go to the meet and hang out with you guys. It's not a definite though cause of my hectic school and work schedule but I will try. Albert

Hey guys I haven't seen any of you in a while. I'll probably be going to this meet. My non dsm ass and all. I'll bring my jeep.Bruce I would definitely help you tomorrow, I have work tomorrow not class, but I'm working until 4:30.

Hey what's up guys? I haven't been any meets since I sold my talon. Next Saturday.... I could probably show up. I know exactly where that is. I used to live in Piscataway, that place is right off of stelton rd. It was just built a little while ago, right? If I do go I'll show up in my purple...

Good to hear you guys had a good time. Sorry I didn't make it. I was gonna go with Bruce, but he never called me. It's ok he's just hating because I'm not a dsmer anymore, J/k. Hey Bruce give me a call whenever you work on the 2g (my talon):D

Yeah... Ok, you're selling your car. When does the supercharger come in?

Yeah the last one sucked. I got in 2 runs and it started pouring like all hell. I don't have the talon anymore, but I'll probably go anyway. I'll probably roll up there with Bruce.

The 1g nt tb looks like a good idea. I never heard of doing that. Is the nt tb larger than the turbo one?

I agree with the other guys. Timing is off. You could change the O2 any way for the hell of it, but it definitely sounds like timing.

check all of your belts. Make sure all of your belts have tension in them. Check anything else that's attached to the power steering and brake booster, water pump, oil pump, etc.

Actually, the car is already sold. Bruce is now the lucky owner. There's a few reasons why I sold it. I could use the money for school, while I'm in school I'm only going to be able to drive it once a week and the rest of the time I'm going to worry. I did have it for a while and would like to...

Also, tighten the bolts down to torque specifications. If the bolts aren't tight enough, they can leak also.

I'll have to agree with the rest of the guys. The Thermal sounds amazing. I'll go ahead and say it's the best sounding exhaust I've ever heard on a 4 cylinder. I just sold my talon but I had a thermal with a 3" downpipe and a test pipe. At wot it sounds really good and I love letting off the gas...

Yeah that little rubber sleeve is very important. If your intake pipe fit snug before you took it off, then the rubber sleeve might be on the old turbo or maybe it fell on the ground somewhere when you pulled it off.

Hey guys I posted my car up for sale in the classifieds. If any of you are interested or know someone that's interested contact me.

I agree. Blown head gasket. White smoke usually means coolant. I don't think the oil return line is clogged, but I would chech anyway, it couldn't hurt.

My talon is a 95 tsi awd auto. I had to replace at 66,000. My problem was definitely slipping. In your case I would check the park/neutral switch.

I'm leaving for vacation this tuesday and won't be back until Sunday, so it's going to have to be next week sometime. I'll call Bruce before I come over so he's not surprised. I'll let you know what day though. I do have the rubber ring. I'm hopin to actually break into the 13's this time so I...

I'll be there hoping to work on my launches. Bruce if it's OK with you, I would like to stop by before then to do a boost leak test finally? I just got my car back and I want to fix it up a little.

I'm selling my black one, so I'll only have my beater and my AWD :thumb: Unless you wanna give me 5k for my FWD :tease:I'll give you 5000 for your FWD if you give me 5000 for my AWD. J/k

My best time thus far was a 14.1 with street radials. I'm also on the T25 turbo. Your time will probably be around that also. Yeah your gonna cry when you see how much time you wasted with the GS-T. All wheel drive makes a big difference when it comes to launching.

I'm going to be there with the talon. I"m not missin it this year.

That shit is HOT!!! Did you look into that turbo kit for it yet??

OK, so the meet is at Bruce's house. That's cool. I don't think you have to worry about the tools for the boost leak test for my car. It's in the shop getting the sunroof fixed for the 3rd freakin' time. I'll show up in my truck though. Did we set a time yet?One more thing off topic. My...

Tom - blcknspo0ln - 1997 Talon TSi FWD Bruce - oldman - 90 TSI AWD Mike - No_Skillz - 99 Eclipse GST Albert - grntalontsi - 95 Talon Tsi AWD

Albert - did you sell your car yet?Nope!! I still got it. I'm fixin small things up. My main concern now is passing it through inspection which is up in June. It's still for sale though so if you know anyone let me know. Is your friend still interested?

Mine is up in June. If you find anyone on here that can inspect it pm me. Thanks

Like I said before I'm down for a meet. I don't care where it is, you guys pick a location. I don't know how to get to Tom's house or the park, so when you pick one post the address so I can get directions.

I'm down for a meet. I haven't seen any of you guys in a while. June 17th is a day after my mom's birthday, but it seems far enough in advance that I could probably plan around it.

Don't lie Tom. You love your car. I never got to see it. At the last meet you had something else. The next meet bring your talon. I think the later talons look awesome. They look like they have body kits on from the factory.

Yup still got the talon. I think in the next week when school is finally over I'm gonna put it on ebay. But if anyone on here wants it let me know. I'll definitely sell it to one of you guys first.Bruce I pm'ed you too. Damn dude your box was full. I just wanted to say sorry for stopping by...

Hey guys. I haven't talked to you guys in a while. We should definitely try to get another meet together sometime.

Haha. One of the funniest ones yet. ROFL

I live in central jersey in the new brunswick area. It takes me about an hour to get to cherry hill. I'm also on sjdsm. You guys should also check that site out.

Yeah I dont' understand how this whole chuck norris thing started but it is funny as hell. He's made some of the crappiest movies I have ever seen. But just to add in the fun:When chuck norris goes to sleep at night he leaves on a night light, not because he's afraid of the dark, but because...

That was my personal experience. I left it uncapped when I first got it just because I wasn't sure what it went to. I hopped on tuners did some research and decided to connnect it. For me it gave me slightly faster spool up time and a sharper clearer whistle sound, but I'm still on the stock t25...

Maybe it depends on the year of the car. I have a 95 tsi awd and I'm getting the exact same gas mileage as the other 95 awd turbos. About 210 a tank. I check it every time I fill up. I noticed that our gas gauges are crap. I would be around E, see the low fuel light come on, sometimes more than...

I have the Greddy type s bov. It sounds awesome. I've had it over a year already. I love hearing the whistle.When you get the type s you'll notice it has 3 nipples. The two standard ones hook up normally. The one on the bottom goes back to the turbo compressor housing. You don't need to...

I run my test pipe all year long. It's way illegal here in Jersey. It will definitely not pass emissions in June. I will have to buy a high flow cat or like I said before, I hope to sell it by then.The car does run better without the cat because the cat is restrictive. My car doesn't smell...

My aamco tranny is awesome. The shift kit they installed is amazing. It pulls really hard when it hits second. And when I roll up to a light or sometimes slow down because of traffic, it downshifts like a manual. It launches really good at the track too.

I thought about putting dual exhaust on my car, but never really saw anyone do it before and I wasn't sure how to do it. I'd like to see dual exhaust, but have the exhausts come through the side skirts in front of the rear tires. Too bad that's not possible.

Once it starts slipping it's most likely too late. My talon is auto and awd so that's alot of strain on the trans. Mine went at 66,000. Luckily it was under the original warranty, so I brought to Aamco and they did a whole new trans plus a shift kit for $300. Now it's under an additional 50,000...

It was cold as hell this weekend, so I couldn't work on it. This weekend if it's not too I'm going to Bruce's house and doing a boost leak test. And then anything else that has to be done. I'll keep you guys updated.Tom thanks for that long ass post. I'll refer back to it when I get the...

Yeah tell Chris about that dude. I don't want people bickering over who did this or who did that on my thread.Back to the topic. I was going to fix the idle issue this weekend but it was cold as hell. Hopefully next weekend. I'll keep you guys updated.

AWD cars need to have all four wheels the same size. That's why the spare for awd cars are much larger than spares for front or rear wheel drive cars.

The next time you look under the car, look just next to the oil filter, you'll see the oil pressure regulator. Mine was leaking pretty bad. When I would accelerate it would send the oil back and it would splash on my exhaust. It's cheap to replace.

I got a full lowering kit on my talon. It went down about 1.75". The front of my car is only about 3 to 4 inches off the ground. It handles alot better especially with my wider Kuhmo tires. I do need the camber adusted in the front, but the back is perfect.

Mine was leaking on that side too. It turns out it was the oil pressure regulator. It's the small round thing located just next to the oil filter.

Yeah here in Jersey, we adopted the same damn cali emissions test. Although my friend told me he passed his wrx with a high flow cat. I waited to pass with my stock exhaust then as soon as I passed I installed my cat-less 3" turbo back Thermal R&D. That was in 2004. I'll go this year, but...

Hell yeah! I'd like to tear up some mustangs!!
