So I start my car today and I here what is almost like a slight whining noise that varies with RPM. So first I thought boost/vacuum leak, but that wasn't the case. So I drive the car a bit, and the whining still is varying with RPM, boosting and not boosting. All of the sudden I hear this...

DIY 1G AWD Turboback Exhaust Having looked around for an exhaust system at a decent price, I decided to build my own for my 1990 Eagle Talon. If you have a decent shop and a welder you should be able to do this yourself. I will not go into extreme detail on the bends of the pipes, you...

Recently I have been having boost problems which weren't occuring before with the same MBC (spiking 15 to 20+ psi, set at 12-13 on 14b). So I turn my MBC all the way out, still same problem. So I take the spring and ball out of my MBC (straight vaccum/boost to actuator) and still same problem...

My car has been acting up on me recently where it would all of the sudden like to stall out of nowhere, and now, not start at all. Plugs, wires, and fuel filter have all been changed or replaced recently. Fuel pump has been tested, and I found no major boost leaks. Capacitors in the ECU are...

90 Talon TSi AWDAbout A week after I replaced my fuel filter my car just stalled while I was driving along, like someone turned the key off. So I pulled over and tried to crank it over, didn't start at first, but eventually fired up. About 5 days later it happened again while idling at a...

When ever I check for boost leaks on my car using the intake leak tester, I am losing all of my pressure out of the oil dipstick tube, oil cap, and pcv tube. Is this normal, or am I experiencing huge blow by in the cylinders/head?? When I plug these areas, I hold pressure fine.The car is...

I was thinking of trying to build an intake leak tester using smoke to detect exactly where the leaks are coming from. Any thoughts and ideas on to how to create something like this. Has it been done before? Any input is appreciated. Thanks

I have heard of people removing this gasket all together. Has anyone here done it with any success? Or should I expect leaks?? It is the large square metal gasket inbetween the exhaust manifold collector and the top of the turbo.Thanks

Alright I am cleaning up my stock turbo and have done some porting to it. I had marked the wheels on the turbo, but the idiot that i am, cleaned them off in the cleaning process:rolleyes:Is there any factory alignment marks to line up the two wheels, or the shaft, nut, and wheel?There...

I found the boost leak on my car and its coming from my turbo(stock 14b). The leak is where that huge snap ring is inbetween the turbine housing and center section. There are no visible cracks on the turbo (I pulled it out of the car).What would cause this??? I dont have the cash for a...

Just curious as to what one would all need on a 1G setup to run this turbo. Which injectors, S-AFC, logger, fuel pump, intercooler ect... recommended...??If you could answer the question here or point me in the direction of a good website it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,:thumb:

Alrite I installed a boost controller recently (home made off the net) and have a few questions. I am running the stock exhaust with a fuel pump rewire. I adjusted the boost to 15 psi(aftermarket boost guage). When I hit 15psi it holds for a couple of seconds and then tapers off to 10-12psi...

I have been looking on the net and have found nothing. Could someone point me in the right direction here as to where I could find an A-pillar gauge designed with a 2 5/8 guage housing. thanx

I am thinking of using one when I get my exhaust done (3in dp back). Anyone here running one with or with out the cat. I heard some sound clips on one site (cant remember which one) and it didnt sound too loud or ricey. Comments please!!! thanks

Alrite I am heading out to the track for the first time with my car. I have all the free mods done, test pipe and boost guage running with the stock exhaust. I also have a MBC, but not hooked up. Wondering what kind of boost I could safely run with these mods and the fuel pump rewired. What...

Anyone here fabricate there own dp? I was thinking of doing one myself or getting an exhaust shop to do it. Is this a realistic idea, or am I better off buying a manufactured one? Being from Canada with the exchange rate makes buying parts across the border really expensive, your input is...

On my 90 Talon I need the diagram for the stock harness wires for the factory radio(tape player and equilizer one unit). I checked the VFAQ and the diagram there was different from mine, different wire colors and locations, but same plug configuration. I am not a car stereo fanatic, so any...

Is there a difference between the 2g turbo and the 2g non-turbo exhaust manifolds?Thanks,

anyone here make there own intercooler piping? Kinda of thinking about it, only problem is the BOV. Any links and tips i could use if i do attempt this myself? Also, what size tubing for top and bottem pipes?Thanks

What RPM's do you guys shift at on the track and for daily driving?? Also what about downshifting, do all of you do it?Just bored and curious!!

Brand name please and weight of oil (90W, 75W???) Also what type of spark plug do you recommend and gap on a 90 TSI AWD.
