I am going to look at a rebuildable core motor. My engine is a turbo 4g63T from a 95 Talon TSI. The block casting # is RVO280. Should the casting # be the same if it's a 7 bolt turbo? Is there anything else I should look for to make sure it's a turbo block/head? Manifolds are off so it's...

Buying turbo today. What is the differance between the EVO3 16G and the "Small" 16G? Going to order from DSMPARTS.com or Slowboy. Joe from Slowboy PM'd me and has a EVO3, and boost guage for a decent $. Anyone deal with either vender? Are they reputable?

First let me start by saying that I searched and didn't find the answer to my question. My turbo siezed up and I am shopping for a replacement. I have the casting #'s off the intake side of the turbo. It's stamped: Turbocharger Type: TD05 RE.NO:KD070001505It...

I've been having low power issues ever since I built the motor for my 95 TSI talon. I didn't have a boost guage so I built an adapter for my a/c guages. After finding my car wasn't boosting I removed the intake and found the compressor wheels siezed. It's getting oil so I assume a bearing...

Is the timing adjustable on the 2.0 Turbos? I'm getting a bog/low power when pulling away from a stop and I'm not sure if its a timing issue or auto trans problem. Doesn't seem to slip, just no power until you get some RPM's. Fluid isn't burned and is full. It feels like the timing is...

I have some questions about my automatic in my 2g. It works fine for a while, then for no reason it'll kick you into 1st and won't shift. After letting the car sit for a while, it'll work fine. TCM? When it's working the car seems to shift just fine, just after it gets driven for half an...

Is it possible to install camshafts in the 2.oT backwards? I've had my motor machined locally and just got it put together and installed. No compression while cranking. Only thing I can think of is my son played with the cams and may have swapped them. No notch in the Exaust cam end where...

What is the largest bore size you can go on a turbo 2.0? I have a block with a BIG ding in the cw. I would assume it'll be over .040.

Is there a reputable source for DSM parts that you would recommend? My parts store wants $600 for a full kit for my 4g63t with pistons and timing kit. I'm just looking for a stock setup, nothing special. It does although have a upgraded turbo I'd like to take advantage of if I can. Anyone...

My parts store is trying to tell me that the ###. import engines use differant parts, i.e. water pump, bearings, gaskets, etc... Anyone have any experience with this? I'd think they were all the same, but I want to make sure before I go any buy one and waste $1400 on something I can't get...

This is my first post here so be gentle.I bought a 95 Talon TSI Turbo that had a little engine noise then an engine fire. That noise turned out to be 2 & 3 rod caps coming loose and puting 2 holes in the block and screwing the whole bottom end. Which I assume turned into a fire that...
