[quote=Aaron Gamgee]Hey Kobie,
Have you considered a 14b on low boost?
Ya I have, but don't want to make my car less reliable lol
Personally I don't get the whole DSM's aren't reliable. I've owned mine for about 6 years & I have only had one issue that I can think of, which was a worn out bushing in the rear suspension.
Guys buy these cars, make 2-3 times of what their power was stock, don't do any maintenance & cry about them not being reliable. Also have to consider these are 15 year old cars even for the newest 1gs.
Personally I think DSM's are very reliable cars, hell my brand new bought winter beater has more issue & its not a year old!
I mean the added issues of boost leaks, more parts that can fail (turbo shaft play) etc.
An N/T vehicle will be just as unreliable as a turbo vehicle if improperly taken care of.
My 94 TSI has been more reliable than my 95 N/T. And a ton more fun. I never like when someone says the turbo dsms are un-reliable. People just abuse them to hell for their entire life. [/quote]
Here here, Take care of your car and I think you would be surprise. My last talon I had for 2.5+ years Tranny blew cause I didnt tighten the nut, despite Rob S. Teachings. Timing went before I bothered to switch it and was not a mitsu belt. Its outlasted a couple of my friends civics they drive. =] Yes they beat the crap out of them. But no one can say I was easy on my talon either. Its all in how you take care of your car for me.
It does pay of to be anal sometimes. =]
