Positive and Negative opinions welcomed!

Do it. But find yourself a 14b, 450's and a M/T Ecu ASAP.
I had an AWD ATX TSI and I REALLY regret selling it.

I used to have a 420A...


'92 TSi AWD

11.8 @ 119mph
470awhp 405 ft/lb torque
30psi on E85 w/ Borg Warner S256 Turbo

1k for a complete car with no known problems, very hard to pass up I must say.

The guy I am buying from has his own 1g graveyard, he has around 20+ cars and he knows his stuff and is a great guy. Considering my old dsm came from a used junk...I mean car lot, this is quite an improvement.

no need for a 2step

Went and looked at the car last night. Excellent shape inside and out.

The guy is giving me a shit ton of parts. 450's 14b and 5speed ECU.

It is in pieces but it's all there and all gaurenteed to work by someone who is a guru.

I can't wait to start putting it back toghether. Motor/tranny/xfercase/wiring harness are out of the car.

Just gotta throw those back in and shazam I'll be on the road again.

450s and 14b would be fun in that little monster

My neighbour down the street bought a red '92 GSX. I took the BCS sleeve out for him, and took the air can off. I hate to say it but I wasn't impressed at all. This car is perfect inside and out. 120k on the clock. Absoutely beautiful, but slow as pooh.

My GST would rape it even off the line, and we tested it on POWER and ECONOMY. He floored it, and it seems like it took it forever to go.

Maybe the 450's, ecu, and 14b would help a lot. If you get one, I would highly recommend it.

perhaps it was worn to crap, perhaps he has a boost leak somewhere, perhaps some other unknown problem is happening that you dont know. a stock AT isnt "slow", just not as fast as it could be.

Well, he was suppose to have had a boost leak check, compression check, and other stuff done like that when he first bought it, but maybe there is something else there.
