Recently purchased a Talon

[Dirtysquirrel]

As the title says, I recently purchased a 1990 Talon TSI. After reading about the awd dsm's and the power potential, I decided I'd try it out. Got lucky with a clean body and interior. Only thing in the interior that doesn't work is the cigarette lighter(no big deal, easy fix). Had a cheap ebay exhaust mani, turbo and o2 housing. Cracked o2 housing and the turbo has quite a bit of shaft play, but I'm in process of changing those things now. I love the way these cars look and they're fun to drive. Hopefully I can pick up another one in the future. 20g is in the plans at the moment

Prepare yourself, once you start modding it really does become an addiction. I broke the habbit years ago, but here I am once again.

Well, for the keeping yall posted, in a week or so I'll be pulling the car apart to install the mishi radiator and rewire the fans. Then install the ETS intercooler as I recently bought a Tial bov, gm 3" maf I now have access to a super16 turbo, DNP exhaust mani with HKS wastegate. Should be going down as soon as I get back from vacation. I'm more than likely going to locate a manual boost controller here soon and assemble it all as quickly as I can without missing any necessary steps.

I totally agree on the addiction, I'm reading information on these cars and looking at different options as to how I want the car to come out eventually. But for now, I'm pretty happy for what I've got planned for the near future.
