Bought a DSM today

Since I'm A glutton for punishment, I bought a 91 Eagle Talon Tsi. Mods and extras include:Boost gauge, A/F gauge, datalogger, a-pillar dual gauge pod, window tint, hood bra, clear lenses in front, KYB struts (F), Eibach springs, 225/50/16 Kuhmo Ecsta MX tires, <timing belt, water pump, coolant flush, accessory drive belts, BS belt done at Polk Performance> 3" cat-back done at Razorback exhaust with Magnaflow muffler, 3" Apexi downpipe, ported 2g o2 housing, SBR ported 2g manifold, upgraded 14b, upgraded injectors (450), 3" GM MAFT version 2.01, 3" high-flow catalytic convertor, Turbo XS MBC (set at 19psi), new windshield, new battery, 255lph pump, rewire kit. The little things that make it so nice aren't really listed, but add to the drivability or the car include some things like new wipers, hatch struts, some dynamat sound deadening mat, mount for the datalogger, etc. Its running a little rich so let my tuning nightmare begin

Yeah, I bought from a guy on my local racing board. He gave us first dibs. If he didn't get any takers it was going on e-bay.

AN AUTO!!!!!!!!!

They Came with what comes standard on a WRX, a 13B, and 380CC injectors, but an AUTO!!!!


DO this, get the tranny built, shift kit, the works. I mean if your gona get an auto, get an AWD so atleast you can break boost and then launch.


Look for a 20G, you will never have traction, may as well get some Highway pull, the BR SUper 20G is ****.

Well, I friend of mine told me, "DSM are like stripper........you throw money at them".

The other day I was driving back from picking up a few groceries (1.5 miles) when all of a sudden, Wham! The Crank Pulley splits and takes the AC and Alt belts off the pulleys and throws my timing off by a couple teeth. WOOT!
