OK i have had this problem after the shop installed my alternator (they probably made a boost leak) where i get fuel cut at WOT. i thought maybe i have too much spark now or something cuz the alternator was the only new thing done to it. well anyway i turned the boost back down to stock levels...

well i replaced the starter. i dont know if it will start every time now but there is two new noises...1. high pitch whistle of a brand new starter :D2. a grinding sound...anyone know what that could be? chip in flywheel?? :cry: :thumbdown:

Alright well heres my problem...my car starts just fine, turn the key, it rips right open. but every now and then when the engine isnt cold, it wont start. just nothing. turn the key and you hear the fuel pump. i had someone turn it over for me and the solinoid still clicks ONCE. once i...

ok how do i check a turbo? what do i look for?

the injectors are physically that color.i actualyl figured out the problem. old owner had plugs gapped at .040 in vs. the .028 to .032. they are all in between that now and the car runs like a champ! :thumb:upped the boost to 14 also and unplugged the "clogged" air filter with a...

A/T145,900 milesi believe the turbo is still stock. i dont think it has been rebuilt at all

So I have this small problem I recieved a bit before I installed my MBC and gauge. my car would seem to rise to full boost with only 1/4 throttle at a little over 2000 rpms. if i could relate it to something I would have to say its like a slipping clutch that transfers only a little bit of...

So all I have done to the car is a boost gauge and MBC (dejon). i ended up having to mount the MBC by strapping it to the radiator hose (will this give me problems with heat soak?). i was running 9 psi stock, every now and then spiking to 10. i turned the boost up to about 13 or so, sometimes...

Ive already done a lot of searches. i dont even know how to search for this. maybe it is a vacuum leak because it mainly just does this at cold engine temps. btw i run 18 hg warm idle, 20-22 cold idle. im talking about just normal constant throttle for acceleration i usually am right below...

Alright, so i am really liking this car. have boost gauge installed, but not mounted. here is a couple REALLY stupid questions that i dont know...1. can i screw the pod right into the A-pillar without killing anything hidden inside?2. how do i wire up the lights. i know NOTHING...

find a used C5 for about $25Kor wait a year for the C6 to come out... then buy a $20K C5 :thumb:

where is the best place to install the boost gauge? vaccum lines on t-body/intake man. or on the turbo outlet pipe?

98redGs... those links didnt help me at all. ive read all that already. everything i find is 14b crap.yes i realize the stock IC pipes are smaller, thats a given right? im asking if its worth the hundreds of $$ to spend on those pipes when i only have a winter ratthe questions i...

I still only see talk about 14b and 16Gs there. what are the inlet and outlet for the 13g?IC pipes worth the money?what mods do the most good?

11. one of the lights say A/T temp, and there are two others that dont say anything, what are they?17. free mods... ive seen like 100 different free mods. which ones work, which ones are worth it? bcs mod (is that just a boost controller?) why would it matter if it adds a few psi when i...

Hey everyone, ive been looking here a while, but never got around to posting cause i didnt have a DSM. anyway i just bought a 92 eagle talon TSi awd for my winter beater (though its is very good shape). unfortunitly it is an auto, but on the bright side, i can install a remote start for winter...

but i need to know if this will be an expensive repair... expensive as in couple hundred dollars or more.i think ill ask $1200, but im probably going to have a mechanic look at it tomorrow for $80 to check it ALL over for reliability.

yes the pressure moves, but i meant at idle it sits about thereok well should i get the car? seems like it isnt anyting too expensive to fix? should i have a mechanic look at it?

So no bad piston? where should the oil pressure be at? this car was at the line on the left half of the gauge. is that about normal for a car like this?is that rebuild site respectable?thing is, i dont have high idle. my idle goes between 1000 and 500.

ok so im into fbodys and am going to get one again sometime. right now i have a 93 trans am, and it was salvaged, so im getting rid of it. im just going to buy my winter car right now (which is going to be this $2000 talon TSI awd). interior is great, body is good, paint sucks, but its for a...
