two questions

[zerotohero192]

the first is will the awd from a tsi turbo fit w/o any major modifications to my base 3000gt? the reason i ask is there is a junker for sale cheap and the awd is mint. next question is will marvel mystery oil help dull the lifter tick, or should i use lucas?

cant answer the first question since i have zero experience with DSMs but, as for the lifter tick i switched to royal purple 10w-40 and it totally went away

1. No, it won't work, at least not very easy. Could you make it, sure, but it would be a lot more expensive than buying a turbo model.

2. Don't use either. Lifter tick is a mere annoyance. Save up and buy 3rd gen lash adjusters. These additives are crap. They don't do you any good any cause problem. What you might give a try is to pour in for quarts of oil and 1 quart of ATF. It has a lot of detergent and can clean out the adjusters. This may help, it may not.

DISCLAIMER!: DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT drive the car with the ATF in there. It's too thin to protect the bearings. Just run it at idle for about five min, then drain and change the oil and filter before you drive it anywhere.

The only thing that really belongs in your crankcase is oil.

The only way to convert your car to AWD is to take a donor AWD TT 3s and take all the parts and goodies from it and follow one of the write ups on how to do it. The AWD DSM stuff wont work.

ok i was just wondering b/c the car was only $200. also the lifter tick seems to kinda speed up when i press the accelerator. is that bad?

thats normal and dont worry aout lifter tick, our cars are notorious about that, cept the 99s. man honestly save urself the trouble and just get a vr4, i highly....highly doubt the dsm's system is gonna fit without huuuge modifacations to the frame, steering knukles, and maybe even transfer cases, our rides arent dsm so the parts dont just swap out
