my tsi , whats next?

[toyotwo91]

I have a 95 tsi awd auto. New timing belt an balance shaft belt. Mbc, front mount, intake, 3 inch exhaust, 3 dp , adj fpr , tranny cooler an shift kit. What's next for low end power. Being auto awd it still feels heavy out the gate. Eugo , afc next?

EUGO should be in front of most of the things you listed my friend.

Also throw DSMlink on there and you have a sweet list.

14b, 16g, dsmlink, wideband, 255 pump, AFPr, injectors, and start tuning....Or you could go cheap with the afc..But if you want to do it right. my list is a start..It also depends on your power goals, and how many mods you pplan and howmany mods you want after you strart modding..

Use the search function..Or click tech guide index on the top left of your screen..You should always do searching before start asking questions,so you have an idea of what to do first..

I've read the build guide but my question was more for low end power. Intake mani help ? Turbo exhaust mani possibly. Having the front mount I guess id think fuel an turbo would prob turn the most drastic change. But realistically I may have 300 I can afford to put in it .

If you want to save money on tuning you can use a dsmlink alternative called jackal speed density, its like $250 installed, plus you can sell your 2g maf and its like a $50 rebate !

Not so much looking to cut corners , but the Eugo is prob going to have to get bought. Can't really do anything w the car till I have that anyways

If you want low end torque you can stroke it, but it would require a deal of work. Bolt on there isn't much, just basic stuff like intake/exhaust that helps the entire powerband is about the best you're going to get.

How long have you had the car? I would do maintenance on it before worrying about more power. You got a good start with the timing & balance shaft belts replaced, but did you also replace the hydraulic tensioner, and tensioner pulleys along with a water pump while you were there?
But if you've had the car for awhile and you did the tbelt/bsbelt replacement as routine maintenance, then disregard my previous statement.

 

[toyotwo91]

Yea I just got it about four months ago. So I'm catching it up on maintenance. Water pump of course was changed. But not the Tensioner . It had autolight plugs in it when I pulled it apart . No good but other than some plugs an wires its pretty straight on maintenance.

Did you inspect tensioner to make sure it wasn't leaking? How many miles does your vehicle have?
