Sealed the Deal on a Talon TSi AWD

[Onefast99gsx]

Yeah, listen to JET. Back about a year ago I was gonna get one of those 57 trims and more than one person steered me away from it. Compare the compressor maps. The 50 trim has a much better map. Don't compare the 50 vs 57 numbers themselves. Naturally you'd think (57), well that must be a bigger and better turbo. Not so true. I bought a PTE 50 trim and I'm MORE than happy with it. I went 12.44 with it on Saturday at ONLY 19# of boost. Had I done my homework that day and troubleshot a problem, I should have easily been in the 11's with 25-26# of boost. By the way, that was on a stock 2g head, except for 272 cams. Only the rough casting was ported. Nothing was hogged out. Start with the smaller mods first like some that JET mentioned in the list. Don't get a big turbo and try to make it work with what you got. You'll be disgusted.

I went 123 mph on 26#'s with a PTE 50 trim and a bone stock head and intake manifold. She still had a lot more in it, but the engine was crankwalked.

I think a lot of people will be envious of you if you get that car. It's nice, and has some expensive parts very few of us have, but want ;) If you get it, I hope you get it fixed easily. But I agree with some other people, sounds like you have a bit more reading and listening to do. But who the hell am I to say anything.

Seller fucked me over and sold it. He's been pretty shady as well, my friend was supposed to look at it and was never able to reach him on the phone. But whatever man I bet a 16 year old kid bought it and will deal with the headaches now. Still on the prowl for a car. I have 4k in my pockets ready to buy if the deal is good.

[slowbubblecar]

I probably wouldn't buy it to get it running for the fact that he says you couldn't have a mechanic look it over before buying it. That alone makes me think the motor and tranny are trash or the electrical is really messed up. I would of only bought it to part out. It was over 1600 miles away from minnesota though.

Thats probably for the best, that car sounded a bit shady as well :).

Im thinking about RK's GST right now. First give a 6 bolt swap if it hasn't been done.

[IndiEP]

Thats the best thing that could of happend to you. A good seller will not hide anything and stand behind any work they've done.
