Yep, get the solid ones for evos, they fit dsms too and are a good upgrade.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Not the carrier bearings but the actual mounts that connect the chassis to the strap thats on the carrier bearings. Nice improvement when done with rear diff mount bushings as well.

Eff this car is looking good!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Ill do both the carrier bearings, all the u-joints, and the strap to chassis mounts. This sloppy rear diff is pissing me off, tons of gear backlash and howls on decel.

I installed a deck I had laying around, I also chopped the stock antenna off and installed this powered amplified antenna on the interior. I got it at Orielly's for $18. It looks way better without the long stock antenna, and works great too.

So today I hit the 1000 mile mark since initial assembly of the Talon, I changed the oil and installed new Bosch Evolution wiper blades. I even got a new one for the rear. Looks like I need a car wash again. I'm also throwing in another pic of the new antenna.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

NICE!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Yeah they are nice blades, some places charge over $25 per blade. I got them for about $8 each.

Installed the speed density setup, I still need to hide the wiring, and mount the MAP securely to the firewall. Pushit2.0 did a great job welding on the IAT bung for me. With SD the car runs better than it did with the 2g mas. Having another member do some street tuning for me next week.

Also going to be installing my electronic boost control solenoid soon, been pretty lazy though.

Reckless DSM'er no jack stands !? Anywhoos getting work done good job!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

haha yup, I used to have a set of 4. oh well

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Are you going on the cruise? I hope to be, Im assembling a 2.3 stroker right now.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Unfortunately I wont make it. My gas tank leaks if I fill it over 3/4 tank, and I doubt Ill get a different one in by then.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

With the SD setup, I wanted to get rid of the 2g MAS without running filterless. This is what I came up with in a hurry, it will do until I find/make a nicer pre-turbo intake/filter. Looks kindy goofy with that filter idk. I also wanted to keep my BOV recirculated.

Swapped the OE looking tan ISC for a good black ISC today.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Today I installed a Ingersoll Rand boost solenoid from Ecmtuning. The boost control function on Ecmlink is badass! Im still tweaking the base duty cycles, once I get that dialed in well I can enable the error correction feature. Just gotta wait for traffic/rush hour to end so I can make some 3rd/4th gear pulls. Being able to fine tune boost levels throughout the RPM range and in different gears is awesome. And for $45, thats cheaper than any good name brand MBC!

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Nice, I don't know a whole lot about ECMlink, but that sounds like it's the route to go

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

Sweet! That is really cheap. Boost by gear sounds like it could be nice too, more for fwd or higher powered cars, but nice to have regardless

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

My starter solenoid has been causing an intermittent no start, so I swapped it with a spare starter I had. Also, I've had to add coolant a time or two in the past few weeks, pressure test revealed a small leak on the heater hose, just had to tighten the clamp. Almost 3k miles since assembly, its been a great daily driver except the starter recently acting up.

Since I can get Blizzaks for 50% off store cost and I can mount and balance for free, I'm going to be getting a set soon and hoping for snow. Im going with the LM-60s they have a H speed rating. The WS70 is a T.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build
 

That is badass. Nice work.

Saw you in traffic the other morning :)
