looking into a 90 talon tsi

so i got a offer for a 90 talon tsi (5speed 97k on it asking 1300) the only problem is that it needs a downpipe, it has a new clutch, flywheel, bearings, breaks, hks hi-boost head gasket, and a re-built head, all stock, boosting 15psi,.. what do you guys think? are 90 talons realible? any thing to watch out for? any thing took look or listen for? help appreciated.. thanks

that sounds like a good deal to me!

Same here. 90s have some oddball parts, but they are fine. It will have a 3 bolt rear end though so dont go nuts, but at least you get a 6 bolt. ;) For 1300 you cant go wrong, thats what my turbo costs :lol:

what is bad with the 90 talons? and what is the deal with the 3blot rear? please help, im not a newbie but i lack info,
btw the mods that im gona do are
evo3 o2 housing, rre 3" downpipe, 3"hi-flow cat,3" apex-i n1, cone fliter, 255intank, adj, fuel pressure reg,denso iridum plugs and 8.5mm wire(cant rember if dsm have direct ignition) free mods found on dsm tuners, and that is about it for now..
anything i should look into?
thanks

any suggestions?

There is nothing "bad" about the 90s, it's just that some of the parts are different. Coil pack, TPS, etc. You cant use parts off any 1g in these cases, which can be a pain if youre looking for a used coil pack someday, etc ;)

The 3 bolt rears are a little weaker. You can get a 4 bolt rear with cups for around 400-450. I wouldnt worry about it until you break it. Which may never happen depending on how you drive it. Some people have taken 3 bolts into the 11s, maybe even 10s.

Sounds like a good deal; go for it! Other than a few differences Kevin pointed out, there really isnt something wrong/bad w/ the 90 talons.

thanks alot kevin i havent posted on this board for a while.. im sure you rember me around here, nice to see your in 11's now.. my goal is a 12 sec talon, i know its not hard, as for my mods list, any problems am i in the right direction?thanks

Mod list looks about right. I do remember you, but I Wasnt sure if it was from this site or DSMtuners. The SN was familiar. ;)

yea im on both sites more on af tho.. thanks for the info any more mods that im forgetting that can be cheap, btw if i upgrade to a type-s will i get the bov sound even tho its recirculates and will it be louder then stock? i know its ricy but i love the bov sound..
thanks

I've never used one, so I'm not really sure. They seem to be louder than stock when I hear them around, but its hard to find out if they are returning or dumping them.

thats a great deal, i would buy it just for a winter car, i have a 90tsi and its been great, my 3bolt is staying strong, and i ran a 12.7 with bad afc settings, it would miss after 5000rpms, the best thing about it is that there are not alot of them around. what turbo are u going to run, i would also get a mbc,afc and a dataloger so u can tune it.

later im going with a big 20g, tublar exhaust mainflod and a 35mm wastegate, for the turbo set up, also ill get 650cc afc will come later when i get the injectors..
thanks going tommorw to see the car, hope its what i want it to be..
