Like I said on Tooners. Boost leak test.

I am just learning my way around dsm's but the only reason I've had low oil pressure in other vehicles I've owned was due to bottom end wearing out. Bearings start to wear out and the oil flows through too easily to keep the pressure up.

ok, first of all , I am not a scientist ! BUT in my thoughts I feel that the bigger fuel pump should not affect gas milage. Now higher pressure at the injector when it opens for that split second would allow MORE gas to the engine. So fuel pressure is the key here. If the stock regulator can release enough extra pressure and maintain the proper pressure then there would be no problem. If the ...

Anyone???

Search "No spark" And you will find wonderful threads already in existance here at Dsmtalk.com However, start with the fuse box and coil packs. Jordan

Yes, you can unplug it with no CEL. Don't cut the throttle cable, its very easy to take out. Unhook the one end from the cruise box, unbolt the two 10mm bolts holding on the cable bracket to the fire wall, then undo the other end from the gas pedel. Then you just have to take the box and actuator off and you just cleaned up your engine bay.

I have the mechanical boost, electrical water temp, and electrical oil pressure gauges from Prosport. I absolutely love them. Accurate and they look pretty good too.

It sounds like your alternator is slowly taking a shit.

Sounds like a crappy suggestion but try doing a boost leak test, it may solve the idle issue. You said your car has been down, it could have developed a leak somewhere. As for the alt charging issue, 13.8v is normal, so if your not having actual electrical issues, I would think the alt isn't causing any problems your having.

I think TDO5H is small 16g One of these should match 49178-01010 - 14b 49178-01520 - Small 16G 49178-01420 - Big 16G 49178-01470 - EVO III 16G 49179-05200 - TD06 - 16G 49178-05200 - TD05H -16g small 16g from a Galant Check the serial number on the turbo. It says 49178-01420 - Big 16G But it also says TDO5H which means small 16g from Galant... WTF?

Plugs gapped right? Wires good condition? Are you using COP? I know mine did that TONS when decel, went back to stock. On decel you should go way lean, as your injectors are shutting off since your not using much fuel at all..

Other than I'm not a fan of sheer points in the rear of that cage, it's looking good!

Use CAPS to get the factory part number then search their oem catalog.

I don't think so, blown turbo will do that.

A narrowband A/F will tell you nothing of value. You're better off spending the money on a full wideband setup.

1990 Talon Short Shifters??? I have been looking and searching for a short shifter for my 1990 Talon TSI and everything I find says 89-94 (except 1990). Is there a short shifter on the market for a 1990 Talon or do I have to buy a 91-94 shifter (for whatever reason it is different) and then a short shifter for that?

Alright I broke down and took some pictures. Please excuse the watery mess, I took my radiator cap off a little too soon to check coolant level. I first tried running a shorter IC pipe setup without the coolant catch tank and realized quickly that it was a bad idea. I'm still working on cleaning up my install, unfortunately I had to throw a few things together due to limited time in the shop ...
