Well I picked up this 1996 TSi on Craigslist in January for $600 and just got going on it recently.
thats the picture from the past owner that he sent me when I emailed him about the car. It has a 14b turbo, a hard intake pipe, a J-pipe, and air fuel and boost gauges. So basic upgrades. He said that the engine spun a rod bearing.
I picked up a 95 Talon TSi a few weeks later with the plans on fixing it up but decided with the amount of frame rust it would be best to part it out.
This car has a good engine. So I stripped it down, got the engine on the stand and down to the long block then pulled the engine/trans out of the blue talon.
here is the Blue Talon waiting to have its engine pulled.
I took a bunch of pictures yesterday with my phone but left the cable for my phone to my computer at the shop. So when I get there today I will updated with the rest of the pictures.
