94 eagle talon tsi

[fourGsix3]

traded a dodge neon for my 94 eagle talon tsi a couple of weeks ago. found many problems with it (boost leaks, striped bolts, running rich, bad gaskets, oil leak from hell) got a new head for it with 3rd gen lifters. put 272 cams in it. just got my new fpr. car came with a big 16g turbo and 3in exhaust. hoping to run 30 psi with 550cc injectors( will see how that goes). the engine is a 6 bolt out of a 90 gsx i was told. car has 94k on the body( didnt think was too bad). so far the car has been very reliable so it must not be running right . id like to get some ideas to help me with my build. this is the first dsm ive wanted to build for street/autocross. was kinda hopeing somone with around the same set up can tell me what kinda hp/whp they were getting so i have an idea of what im around. i do know that every car is diff but just want a round about answer. debating on puting a 20g turbo on this car but have alot of learning to do and hopeing i can get the info i need from this foum. let me know what you think and what you think i should do.

20g is GREAT for 400hp if you can find a genuine one. MHI turbos just went up in price outta control.. Anyway, start changing gaskets, (camshaft gaskets, valve cover gaskets, turbos gaskets, ofh gasket, etc. Then BUILD A BOOST LEAK TESTER! Go with 850+ injectors, ### 550 wont do even 20psi. And your priority should be tuning software, like DSMlink, or a SAFC, so you can tune the thing. And an aftermarket boost gauge, and a REAL WIDEBAND is a must to tune (EGT gauge if you want too). I recommen LC1 wideband, or the good ol' AEM EUGO. Intake plumbing, 3" exhaust, suspension, brakes, etc. Any specific questions, you can always PM me.
