  1. PLX SM AFR Wideband Installation (need help)

    I just picked up an SM AFR and am a little confused as to where I should splice into the ignition for power. I removed the steering column shroud but was unable to determine where to splice in. Can I run the supplied wires through the firewall and connect to ignition in the engine bay somewhere...
  2. JNZ Quarter Panels

    I need to replace the rear quarters (as well as the rocker panels) on my 1990 Talon and would like to know if anyone has bought the panels fron JNZ. They appear to be the entire panel and I would like to know if this would be an "easier" method rather than cut-out and fabricate a new piece to...
  3. Please identify control arm.

    Pics are not the greatest, but can someone please identify the control arm (or is this the front axle) being pointed at. It is the front drivers side arm that goes into the rotor housing. When turned, the wheel grinds quite badly so I am quite sure the whole arm needs to be replaced.All...
  4. Oops...Fuel pump install screw-up

    I was installing a Walbro 190 today and over-tightened the pos. terminal nut on the pump itself (snapped the bolt off). I was able to solder the wire (with ring terminal) to the pos. post but I can't help worrying if this is sufficient inside the tank. Can anyone give me some insight please...
  5. intercooler

    Can anyone let me know if a small pinhole in a FMIC will effect performance a great deal?. I plan on running a EVOIII 16g with no more than 20lbs boost and would like to know if the FMIC would handle this. The IC is rated at 655 cfm and has a 25 x 7 x 2.8 core.Thanks for the info.
  6. Is This a tranny prob?

    Parked in neutral my car has no prob. reaching redline, yet in motion I cannot exceed approx. 4000 rpm without a rattling noise occuring from engine bay. I thus do not go above this rpm unsure of the cause. Is it possible that the tranny is shot? Sorry if this is not enough info. but at the...
  7. Where is my TPS?

    I am sure that I am overlooking the location of my TPS but could someone point it out in the picture shown. I thought it was suppossed to be at the top of the TB next to the biss screw but apparently not. This is on a 1990 Talon Tsi Turbo. Thanks for the help.
  8. markmakeitso

    Can anyone please tell me if markmakeitso is still around. I have pm'ed him a few times with no response.Thanks
  9. O2 sensor purchase

    I am in need of an O2 sensor and would like to know if any of the aftermarket brands are any good. Oxygensensors.com has a Walker brand that is relatively cheap, but are they any good? SBR is selling OEM from Mitsu. for approx. $160. Am I better off going with SBR?Thanks for any input
  10. 15 years , Never had a cel (wtf)

    In the 15 years that I have had my Tsi, I have never had the cel come on except at start up. I have had my share of problems and am currently stumped by a low idle when warm accompanied by regular stalling issues. Steve, or anyone else, what would cause my ecu to not throw a cel in that time...
  11. OBX Muffler (RNR)

    Can anyone let me know if the OBX muffler is as good (sound and quality) as a Magnaflow. I just received my RNR exhaust and paid for a Magnaflow (extra $100.00) but received the OBX. Should I contact Ryan or is this muffler top quality?Thanks in advance
  12. San Francisco Vendors

    Can anyone please let me know of any DSM vendors in San Francisco. I am traveling there from Canada in a few weeks and would like to pick up intercooler pipes and an intake if possible. Aftermarket parts are next to impossible to find up here and shipping costs are sometimes quite prohibitive so...
  13. compression testing

    I went to test the compression and could not determine how to unplug the coil pack to avoid shock. Could someone please let me know which connector powers the coil pack. Yes I did check my manual but it is not very descriptive.Thanks in advance.
  14. CEL never activated

    This may seem silly but I have to question how I have never had a CEL come on in the 12+ years that I have owned my Tsi. I certainly have had problems with boost, turbo dying etc. but the light has not responded. When I start the car the CEL lights up momentarily so I know that the bulb is...
  15. bcs test

    Sorry if this is too simplistic, but I just got my pocketlogger and need to know what the bcs test is suppossed to do. All the other tests are audible from within the car but I am unable to hear anything when I run the bcs test. Does this in itself mean the unit is "bad"? I do have major...
  16. Wastegate actuator

    Can someone please tell me if the actuator arm should be easy to slide when out of the car. I have a severe lack of power and I am unable to move the arm at all (in or out of vehicle). The turbo has no shaft play so I suspect the wastegate could be shot. Thanks for any input in advance.
  17. ISC Troubles?

    I have been having ideling problems (bouncing up and down and occassionally stalling) for quite awhile and I finally tested the ISC as per the VFAQ. The only 2 readings I got were from 3-4 (160 ohms) and 5-6 (180 ohms). Could this also cause a power loss or is the sole purpose of the ISC to...
  18. Unknown connector

    Does anyone recognize the electrical connector in the pic? It comes from a harness below the thermostat housing and was just hanging down. Is it possibly a diagnostic port of some kind? Thanks for any info.
  19. Timing Adjustment Plug

    Can someone please tell me where the timing adjustment plug is so that I can hook up the jumper wire to time my car. Is this (second pic) the correct harness (plug on)? Also, there is a melted connector to which I am pointing to in the first pic, can anyone tell me if this is a relevant...
  20. Turbo coolant line

    Can anyone tell me where I can order a coolant line for my 1g Talon from. I live in Canada and the dealer says that they no longer supply the part. It is the line going from the turbo to the thermostat housing ( is this the feed line?) My line is leaking and I would like to temporarily patch...
  21. Running car w/o turbo.

    Can anyone tell me if I am running any risk in removing my turbo cartridge (to do a rebuild) but leave the housing in place so that I can work on the rebuild on a daily driver. I am currently driving with a major leak inside the turbo and am essentially turbo-less now anyways. I have been told...
  22. Intake leak test path

    Can anyone please tell me the exact path the pressurized air flows when doing a boost leak test. I am havin a helluva time locating the leak which is audibly apparent but does not show even with the soapy water method. I have the engine at TDC and can hear a leak coming from what appears to be...
  23. Port Exhaust Manifold?

    I have a 1st Gen. Talon Tsi and have installed a 2nd Gen. Ex. Man. Do I need to port the manifold in order to go with a 3" exhaust? I will be upgrading the turbo in the future and want to know if I risk boost creep by not porting the manifold. Thanks for any input.
  24. Turbo Band Clamp

    Does anyone know an easy method to re-install the band clamp for the turbine housing? I seperated the housing from the turbo to access the ex. manifold studs for heli coiling but am having a helluva time puttin that clamp on. Is there a better clamp available? I do not want to have to pull...
  25. White exhaust smoke

    Can anybody tell me how to determine the cause of white smoke coming from my exhaust. I do not smell a sweet odour, so it probably is not a antifreeze leak. Is it likely that my fuel mixture is too lean? Thanks in advance.
  26. wastegate performance

    This seems very basic, but how can I tell if the wastegate is performing correctly. I seem to have a loss of power (turbo has no audible spool) and I just replaced my ex. man. with a 2g. unit. One of the ex. man. studs was stripped but I did not notice until manifold was put back on, so I...
  27. Exhaust manifold replacement

    Please help. I have a 1990 Talon Tsi with a cracked exhaust manifold. Can it be welded (shop says no). If I must replace it, which manifold would be the best choice? Have heard the 95 manifold is less restrictive, but will that just bolt in or are there mods to do on it? Also two of the...
