I was having the same issue with my 95 Talon TSi. i had to replace the Biss screw or idle sensor on the throtle body and my TPS sensor wasn't seated on one side. Mines Idles pretty well now at around 1000 rpm.

The colt sounds like it is a beast. Still trying to get my '95 Eagle Talon TSi working properly but everyday it seems i get closer. It drives fine just seems every month something new pops up. Panama City Dsm'er also.

Thanks for the info Dert. I do believe I'm going to replace my fuel injectors next. I got to do some research to see what type I need, but first going to replace the stock fuel pressure regulator with the Weapon R one I purchased. The car is running alot better now tho. Even my lifter knock is...

Okay I did my leak down test and to no resolve. I didn't hear or feel any boost leaks. The good news is I boosted 11lbs after putting my old road tune on. It seems to boost really slow tho and late it starts about 3300rpm and peaks at 11PSI at 6100rpm. My idle has improved but seems to stutter a...

Okay took it for a spin after rerouting tubing and found a vacuum hose off coming from the EGR. On my test drive after I got to six PSI max. BOV works fine also.After my boost leak check tomorrow I will see if there is a leak I can fix to close the system. Will post results tomorrow evening...

well got it registered again today and took it for a cruise found a tube loose. I got to six PSI, so think after i put my old tune on the computer and get the right setting son the AEM boost controller. I also heard my BOV working so feel better it just needs fine tuned. I will do the boost leak...

I have a 1995 Eagle talon TSI and it will not boost over 2 psi. I just had to change my headgasket and pretty much redid the whole top end of the car with OEM new parts. I did the 100,000 mile stuff since i had the head off. I did notice when I manually hit the throttle from the cable control...

maybe I will stop bythe first half of the day. Have college to go to in the evening. Yeah pretty sure its the waste-gate but could be wrong. When I manually hit the throttle cable I don't see the waste-gate actuator arm move at all. I figure I just need to take the C clamp off and open and close...

Fimally found my way back to Panama City and got my head gasket done. Just looking for some local Dsm'ers to meet with around the area. My cars running but doesn't boost so i need to adjust my waste gate actuautor arm i believe. Doing a leak down test this weekend to see if thats all i nned to...

Sounds like you have some serious problems under the hood. As was stated already I would change the PCV out if you haven't already done so becuase it's the cheapest solution. Check all your oil connections going to the turbo and seal on your Valve cover because these gaskets if not seated...

If your going just for the cosmetic look of the RRE cover. Should get yourself a Coil-on-plug setup and have looks and Functionabilty. Plus it eliminates your stock coil pack. Really does make your engine look better and makes your car run better. I dropped 200 RPM on idle after installing the...

Is there any smoke coming out of the Exhaust? If so what color? I would start with your thermostat for sure since it's inexpensive and common. Check all your hoses that are connected to the cooling system. Ensure your radiator cap is sealing properly and also your cap just above your thermostat...

Do you have any Catalytic Convertor's on your car? When I still had the stock stock exhaust on and not a Turboback. My car would do this becuase i had a bad Catalytic Covertor and O2 sensor. Also might be time for new fuel injector's or fuel filter. Also couldn't hurt to upgrade your spark plug...

Could be because maybe your Headgasket is cracked. Check to see if you have the proper torque on the head. Might have a bad hose somewhere on the Cooling system. Check your all your radiator hoses and ensure thier not leaking, loose, or kinked. Could be your radiator could has a blockage or...

You did a real nice job for sure. I believe you will have to move the AFPR also. Always fill the wholes and paint over if they bother you that bad:)Dang! My paint cost $50 dollars a can. Bluestream Metallic Tri-coat isn't a cheap color. I guess that's why I paid $9,000 for the Chevrolet...

+1Yeah, 2 inches is quite abit and wish I didn't go so low with my Talon I hit almost every Little hole of slight rise of pavement with my front bumper. Here's a couple recommendations for shocks. I personnally have the Koni adjustable and Have owned the KYB gas shocks and they both...

+1Check your Idle control Sensor. It's located just underneath your throttle body and see if it has alot of build up on it. Also ensure that the electrical connector is seated properly. Have you checked to see if the wastegate Actuator arm is loose or needs tightened. Would lead to slow...

Welcome, Seems like you found yourself a good project car. I have a 2009 WRX as my DD driver but still Love my DSM more. I would do a boost leak check on it for starters if it's mechanically sound and running well. Look around the valve cover and head for oil leaks or tubes that may have started...

I'm always suspicious of ebay parts due to the random sellers. I believe you get what you pay for and if it's on your car you definitely want to get a quality product. In theory it would work though if you didn't have the money for better. Maybe the one from Punishment Racing because it seems to...

Definitely sounds like a good deal to me since it stored and the parts were never put on and you can do the proper maintenance to get the car right where you want it. Good find I believe and hopefully it turns out to be a reliable fast car for you. I'm looking for a 1G Eagle talon AWD Automatic...

This site has very informative tech articles and members. So might find yourself on here alot if you need help with your car, but sounds like you already have a pretty educated source with your husband. Hope you have fun with your car and it treats you well. Welcome to the forum. Nice car...

I see your running a good amount of boost. I would recommend a OEM MLS Head Gasket. Make sure to label aeverything and take your time also. Don't want to be scrambling later to figure out where the vacuum hoses and electrical connectors went. Also proper torque on the head is a must. You'll be...

Your pictures arent loading for some reason or might have some helpful information. Definitely make sure all your hoses are on properly and tighted and ensure there's no cracks or leaks from the hose itself. If you replace the hoses and it's still doing it could need to bleed it again and try...

I have never heard or seen any aftermarket Valve covers. I have seen some pretty well fabricated ones tho. Like thermal coating and painted with added inlets. You just have to buy a brand new one or get lucky finding a half way descent one. Have to be careful for sure, have broke one myseld and...

Yeah, I would keep looking for a bit since this has quite a few problems that could prove to be a sign of things to come in the future. If it's venting to atmosphere should have it tuned to account for this. I think I might myself go back to a recirculating setup. There's a 1G in the DSM...

Yeah a front mount intercooler would be a good idea for a Evo III 16G. Remember the bigger the intercooler the more time it take to fill with air so boost response might slow down a bit. It also matters what supporting mods you are going to implement with the 16G. Hopefully you read the tech...

Yeah your Dsm will give you some problems if you haven't spent the time to do proper maintenance. Sounds like your ISC is done, but I also would check and see if your timing marks are lined up. Vfaq.com can answer any questions you have about the timing alignment and proper ways to adjust to get...

Could be a few different issues. Are you seeing any smoke or overheating during or after your drive? A few more details would be helpful. My tick came from the lash adjusters, so I replaced them with the OEM Revised lash adjusters and that fixed it. Good Luck finding your problem. Let us know...

If you love your car that much and have that much attachment. I'm not sure the extra speed you will gain from the GST or GSX will stop the pain. The 4G63 SWAP ON THE 2.4L would be the best path if your truely stuck on your car. Nothing like a Quick AWD. I haven't missed my GS since I got my TSI...

The pictures from craiglist aren't very detailed and very low quality. Looks like he installed a new Valve cover on the car. The CAS shouldn't be to hard to do with a hayne's manual or maybe check Vfaq.com. I would definitely low ball him with the $1500 price tag for this car since it doesn't...

+1 Follow the steps above, very sound advice to having a heartache free modification path. In the end it all comes down to proper maintenance. Read the tech articles and help forums. Good Luck! :hellyeah:

I paid 10, 000 for my 1995 Eagle Talon TSI with 90,000 miles on it,back in 2007. Had a few mod's done to it, but since I was new to DSM's and hadn't done my research alot of supporting mod's had been cheaply applied or weren't on the car. I been learning with a quickness proper maintenance will...

Definitely don't cut corners. I bought my car semi modded and have been fixing the errors in the previous owners incorrect mod path. Ensure your cars motor has been properly maintained and go by the tech list of the proper modification path. I hope to get mine reliable with my AEM StandAlone, i...

I like the stick story, Debbie. Never heard of anyone hitting it with a stick, just a hammer or rubber mallet but very ingenuitive, so:thumb: Congrats on your dedication to your car and doing it right.:hellyeah:

Looks like your from Michigan, so AWD would be nice to have even though FWD is descent in the snow. I came from Washington State and had no troubles in the snow at all with winter tires of coarse. I would wait for the AWD but if you need a car now and the GST had been properly maintained and...

If your looking for a loud blowout valve the HKS Super Sequential is intense and will definitely let everyone know car is boosting, LOL. I have one one my Talon and it's almost to loud at times. I also had one on my 3000GT TT and it was just to loud, so had to switch to the Greddy which was...

I would just post a full shot of the engine bay of both sides if you got it. We could better see the mods and condition of the car. Sounds like a fast setup with some TLC and tuning. :hellyeah:

I would throw a stock MLS on there would be alot better for the new owner. The Felpro would work tho. The Arps are a better choice. I'm going to try and reuse mine when I pull my head. :thumb:

I was thinking that was a Ebay setup you had on your intake. It looks like a custom job on the exhaust. The only thing that kept me from saying Billy Boat was the fact it looked like there was a resonator on it. Looks like it has good welds tho. Black smoke could just mean it's running rich...

+2 I agree, 14 or 15 PSI is the most I'd run with your set up to keep your car a reliable Daily Driver. Definitely do a Boost Leak check before you bump it up tho to ensure your not leaking and pushing your turbo to much. :hellyeah:

Cometic aren't known to be the most reliable headgaskets. A OEM MLS would have been better, or the HKS MLS. If any of the symptoms listed in the above stated replies, or from the blown headgasket tech article I linked then probably the headgasket is the culprit. I'm thinking your having loss in...

My car is doing the same thign as your car. It's a blown headgasket. My car starts to overheat and spew white smoke everywhere from the exhaust after 5 mins of starting and gradually overheats. I went and got the mishimoto thermostat for almost 60 bucks and no change. If you take the cap off...

+2 good posts for the ISC. Would have been good to know when i took mine out Mine was covered in black deposits and had a bad gasket. I cleaned it up and threw a new gasket on it and worked fine. Let us know your results.:thumb:

Post and Let us know if this solves your Overheating issues. Likely should from the description of your problem. Hopefully as simple as the overflow.

No Problem. Did you get that the plastic cover for the belts off. I have to do the same when I get back to the states to replace my headgasket. Post how the install goes. Laterz.:hellyeah:

Agreed, I believe you should just keep using that one to get used to proper shifting. Once you get it replaced you' have it down with no problems. Would go with a stronger clutch when you replace it:-) Happy shifting.:thumb:

Glad you got your gauge working and enjoying the results. Sounds like it all worked out for you congrats and enjoy.:thumb:

Yeah, Sulpher smell normally is becuase your car is running in a rich condition. What type of fuel you running in it? Might try to lower the octane, or use a different oil. When you change your oil check if it's a milky color and check your coolant to make sure your mot losing any out the...

Yeah, Do your Boost leak test and let us know the results. I made my Boost leak tester for about 10 dollars from parts I got from Home depot from some home plumbing items. Make sure it's sealed well if you go the homemade route. The most expensive part was buying the connectors for the...

Here is a tech article that might help you. I don't have any photos but a haynes manual could be your savior right now. Here's the Link hope it helps.http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-engine-fuel/185236-head-removal-mini-engine-rebuild.html:aha:
