Hi, my name is Tom. I've been into DSMs for about 5 years now and am finally getting one. I might be buying The LBUGAWD's 1991 TSi tomorrow. I can't wait to get this car, 1st gens are so sick and you gotta love the 6 bolt. I'll have a bunch of money left over from my modded Neon being sold tomorrow and I'll be ordering a Turbo/Wastegate/FMIC upgrade kit right away.
-Stainless Steel 321ss manifold
-HKS SSQ BOV
-38mm Wastegate
-24x12x3 FMIC
-Piping
-SAFC-II
-Tuning will be hopefully by Elite when all my parts come
All my friends highly recommended I join this board and it looks great and I know a few people on here too. I'm also NOT THE BLUE LAMPSHADE on mnsportcompacts.net.

Welcome! What are you going to order for a turbo?Well, I was looking at the DSMtuners site and for now I'm going the stage 1 route, so I'll be keeping the stock turbo for now and have that tuned to happily run 16-18PSI for a while. The car needs some minor cosmetic work and I'm working with roughyl 1500$ in used and new stuff. I need new headlight motors and the car needs at least a good black primer coat with a sealant coat too. So all in all, I hope to be pushing as close to 300 HP as possible, so maybe 265-280HP is doable on the stock turbo and injectors with a large FMIC and the SAFC-II. What do you think?
Shotgun!

What's with the name?Yea, I know I'm a n00b and still learning, but I'm working with Paintballpro69 and some other people I know and from what I've planned out, they say that I've got a pretty good setup going for this car to start; seeing as this is my frist car with a turbo. :D
Also, with the paint, it's just a quick fix for now since I guess the body looks like a ladybug, so one color will do it justice for now, and then jet black paint job in the spring with the bronze gram lights will set it off great.:cool: But then again, I've seen some pretty sick looking cars with the black primer paint job and I kinda like it. I'm gonna take it to my friends shop out in Corcoran, Sonny's Custom Paint if any of you know about, and have it done for cheap as I have a friend that works there.
Oh, and "NOT THE BLUE LAMPSHADE" is my name on CS and some other forums and it used to be part of a real funny saying that my friends and I made up when we got really drunk one time. :rolleyes:

Mr. David Buschur Jr. right there. It's good to see someone actually reads those tuning guides versus 1/2 of the fucking idiots on Tuners who want a FP3575 right away.
