i have recently gotten ahold of a 1995 eagle talon TSi awd. it starts, will continue to run, then when put in gear will basically not go anywhere. i can tell it goes into gear, will shift through the gears fine once it does get moving but to get it there takes a minute, basically i can floor it from a stop and it will crawl very slowly for about 50+- feet then boost will come and it takes off, boost is cranked up and yet wont go above 10lbs at first and if i let off then floor it again runs up to 20lbs. its got a new head gasket, new o2 sensors(due to a broken one), and new plugs a wires. i just cant figure this one out, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Edit: i forget to say that the car will start fine, idles high around 2 grand, and is unfortunatly an automatic. i did also check the timing and the timing was set correctly.

really, i would think bad torque converter but not bad trans, once it gets moving it will take off. also as im working on it right now i found oil in the intake near the tb, wouldnt that be a bad seal in the turbo?
 
fluid levels look good, have not had it at a trans shop. i was acually going to crack it all open but i dont know if its the trans seeing as it will shift all the gears and stuff i have taken it out and driven it, though everyone seems to be pointing at the trans. i cant remember ### it was a while ago but i didnt think the trans was a weak link in the 1g and 2g eclipse when i was working at mitsubishi, but that was again a very long time ago(before the 3g cam out)
 
also i like how you have RRE as your recommended DSM shop, road race really makes a quality product and they will work very well with people who are trying to get parts.
