dunno if its a step up or a step down from the 02 gti

[DontStopMe]

So what is wrong with it?

[strokes-GTI]

acually when i looked at it looks like some dumbass doesnt know how to put a motor in cause half the crap isnt hooked up under the hood so im hoping its an easy fix as far as pics go i will get some up when i get a chance today

its missing a few things like intercooler to intake manifold pipes, radiator hoses, some misc. hardware but nothing too expensive

[TomKat]

I thought Ryan was going to get that car for a winter beater. So are you going to sell the VW now?

[EVILUTION]

Hmmmm sounds like you can get many of those parts from extreme.

[TomKat]

Or Andy. He's got a garage full of DSM parts also.

[devlish]

i've got ALL the stock intercooler pipes & intercooler too if you need. let me know.

[strokes-GTI]

yeah tom i picked it up from ryan cause he really doesnt want to do the work so i dont mind picking up the 600 dollor price tag

na im going to keep the vw gotta ride in style lmao

just gotta tow it here sunday and i gotta see whats up i will make a parts list of what i will need and i will post it up

thanks for the help

[TomKat]

Let us know when you get that DSM up and running so that we can set up some matches for you.

GTI vs. DSM - hmmm

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

yeah, if you need some parts let me know, i got a crap load of stock parts.

[strokes-GTI]

awsome sounds good thanks guys

im pretty sure my gti is gonna lose


what does a stock tsi awd normally run

[TomKat]

Stock AWD DSM. Low 15's in the quarter mile.

[strokes-GTI]

guess it might be close then lol

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

bone stock tsi talon is around 200hp.

[strokes-GTI]

bone stock tsi talon is around 200hp.

bone stock GTI is around 180 to 190

GTI mods:
3" dp to high flow cat
2.5" cat back magnaflow exhaust
short ram intake
unorthadox lightened pully set
mbc at 16 psi

should put me at about 230 hp give or take 10 hp
should be close the only draw back to the gti is that is a 5 speed auto

[strokes-GTI]

i cant wait till i get that talon running what a pain in the ass

[TomKat]

Your pain in the ass (Talon) is just getting warmed up. Wait until you start driving that car.

HA, good one tommmmis. DSM's wont break if you fix it right and dont cut corners.

[strokes-GTI]

yeah see heres the thing my exhaust cost me 700 bucks, dp was 450, pullys were like 300

it sucks moding the vw cause it cost so much fucking money its not worth it

if i can get that talon running its going to be my new baby

i will make the vw look nice the talon can be my "other car" lol

[TomKat]

DOH!!!! :?

[TSi_II]

If you are trying to keep miles off the VW, a DSM probably wasn't a wise choice for your daily driver... lol Haha just keep good care of it and you'll be fine.

[VPT]

yeah see heres the thing my exhaust cost me 700 bucks, dp was 450, pullys were like 300



Should have gave vpt a call.

[EVILUTION]

Why does everyone pay soo much for exhaust? Ebay has full turbo back exhausts....downpipe, testpipe, and catback pretty darn cheap.

My entire 3" SS turbo back for Darth for $500. It's 28LBS lighter than stock too.

[TSi_II]

My turbo-back, including o2 dump, was $330 from VPT. Less bends, looks just as good, and all in 1 day instead of 2 weeks waiting for shipping. There's your vendor advertisment.

[EVILUTION]

VPT does do good work from what I hear. That is a very good price for a 3" turbo back exhaust.

WOOHOO, thats my intake!!!! I remember way back when i had my white talon, checks muffler gave me a quote on 180 bucks for a cat back, 2". I would go to VPT first though.
