i duno, mine hasnt givin me problems in the 3 years that i've had it, but then again i dont beat on it unless i have to. juss depends on the person and how u take care of things. obviously if u beat on s**t ur gonna break s**t.... common sense.
No, Because yours hasnt broken anything just means that you aren't making any power.. Especially with a 13 sec. 1/4mi.. a gsr-swapped hatch will do that..

dont get me wrong, i've always had a special place in my <3 for the 3 red diamonds (mitsubishi's translation), but they do require way too much money to keep them fit, once respectable power is achieved (350+hp).. The trans is the worst. bent shiftforks, syncros, axles, viscous couplers, etc....

Is looks real nice, though Cod. My fave is the 1G bodystyle, post 1990 ('91-94). the 90s were crap.

:roll: Pretty much anything thats making 350 plus, not stock. Isn't going to be extremely reliable. Given there are cases but still...

true.. but, they're still nice, cod man... first mod - throw that uncalibrated Autometer boost gauge away! :D
Looks like it is the typical off-zero inaccurate gauge.. just like both of mine! lol

Yeah, it doesn't sit at 0 when it's off. I haven't heard anything but good things about autometer though. Can I calibrate it? First mod I think is going to be an exhaust. BTW: I got smoked by a swaped turbo hatch yesterday :cry:

nah, you cant calibrate it.. the common problem is, it's a phantom, which is kinda the "cheaper" (for lack of a better word) of the Autometers, but not as cheap as AutoGage lol..
Pro-Comp versions are spot-on.. but ehhh, they're only rough indicators, anyway, right? ;)

Yeah, a swapped turbo hatch will wring the GS-T out quite regular... a good friend of mine has a 400+awhp '91 Galant VR-4 that is one of the sickest streetcars I've ridden in.. btw, it is on it's 4th trans...

Yeah, who really cares about knowing exactly how much boost is going. All that matters is that it's boostin :cool: I just raced a GTO on the way home a few minuites ago and quite frankly I'm not that impressed. :???:

kouki 2nd gen DSM's are the only ones that look nice. do a first gen motor swap and then have fun with it!

just get an exaust and an intake trust me.... u will be inpressed. it opens up so much! that little tiny exaust ristricts so much on that poor motor its not even funny. its almost screaming to get out!

raise the boost up a little too! take it to 18!!! trust me u WILL like it lol

Well it already has an intake so now I just have to work on getting the air out :lol: Wouldn't you think 18 would be too much for stock internals?

hahaha are u kidding me? 18 is nothing. my stock 7bolt held 26Psi with just a new headgasket and arp head studs.

your motor will handle it. and also the t25 is just find with 18 just dont go over that because anything over 18 PSI will just start blowing hot air. and also the turbo will start to die out at about 6,500 RPMs maybe lil more.
