Sealed the Deal on a Talon TSi AWD

you should probably read more about DSMs. Dont jump on the bandwagon, its bad for you and your wallet. Also, just buy a stock one in good condition. You can easily find one for under 4000.

I would not plan on having this car as a daily driver as of yet. Why does he have a stage three head for a 14b? I agree with cudvig do more research before you jump in head first. Yelling and bitching at the car once you got is not going to make it run. Trust me on this. I had my car for three years now and the most milage I put on it has been 600 miles and it is for test driving the car after I thought I got the problem fixed.

oh no no bro I want to put in a stage 3 head along with a PTE 57trim turbo. The head is stock with HKS 264/272 cams.

There is one I found in North Cali stock for 1500 just needs bodywork.

if you get a car, dont plan on modding it if it is got any problems at all. DSMs are even worse with this case. one problem turns into several in a little amount of time. think of down the road with the car. do you want 10s like everyone else? or something realistic like 12s or maybe 11s. That only you can decide. And trust me, learn ALOT more in advance then when your stuck with it.

with the setup I listed I should be in 11's. Im not looking make a super fast car or anything. I've been on team-2g.com for nearly a year now and I asked a moderator what mods would I need for a daily driver car that will hold it's own and he gave a list of mods which this car has but missing the items that mentioned.

Sorry to burst your internet bubble but a 11 second car is a FAST daily driver.
Unless you run into modded vipers, modded vettes, and exotics all day long...

When you end up parting out whatever DSM you buy because you blew it up, be sure to post a FS ad in the classifieds cause I'm sure there may be parts off of it I would be interested in.

-Moral of the above statement: IMHO, by the way you speak in your posts, you need to drastically increase your DSM knowledge before purchasing some random car and slapping a 57 trim and Magnus on it.

I agree, 11's is super fast. I was running mid 12's Saturday only because of some issues and i was blowing the vettes away and easily the new GTO's. I have an 11 sec car though. I'd never want to run anything faster than 11.50 because i don't want to put a cage in my car. You are probably gonna need more than a 57 trim turbo and HKS cams to get you well into the 11's.

If you want 11's all day, get yourself a good set of jackstands because the car is probably wanna get to know them very well.

Why a 57 trim? That is a pretty worthless turbo. Go with the 50 trim, basically the same flow, but more efficient on a 2.0. If you want to go bigger, get the GT56 wheel. Either will get in the 11's. It is going to cost some money to get in the 11's. FMIC, clutch, injectors, fuel control, exhaust, turbo, etc. I wouldn't bother with a stage 3 head though, the stocker has made well over 500 whp numerous times.
