I've been considering getting one of these but am having trouble finding some key points out. Keep in mind I am only talking about 1G TSi and GSX here....
What is the FW/RW power distribution, with traction and without (if it changes).
What are some of the more major forums? Anything the size of say Prelude Online or say...NICO? ;D
Can the psi be turned up immediatly, how much, etc.
Swaps?
Thanks in advance.
A question or 2 for all your DSM people

Swaps: None. The so-called "Cyclone" motor is just a 4G63 with a funky intake manifold that's more trouble that it's worth.
Distribution, 50 front, 50 rear, varies with slippage. (Viscous center differential)
MachV motorsports has a good MB, and DSM.org ought to have links to large message boards.
Safe boost: Approx 1 bar. (14.7 psi) don't go higher than that without fuel pump rewire/new fuel pump and injectors.
Don't forget: Your stock boost gauge isnt' a boost gauge it's a giant peice of crap don't rely on it for anything at all whatsoever. Get a real, honest to god boost gauge.
Hope that helps.
1G DSM's are great cars. I miss my 93 TSi. *sniff!*

The Captain got it all pretty much.
The Cyclone intake manifold can be rigged to work using a stock 14b wastegate actuator. It gave a friend of mine 5mph in the quarter and 2 tenths over the stock manifold.
The bigger online forums:
http://www.dsmtalk.comhttp://www.dsmtuners.com
Those have around 17,000-20,000 members each.
My talon ran 13.8 with just a new clutch, air filter, and boost controller (14psi). 13.6 after adding a homemade upper IC pipe, 2G throttle body elbow, and larger turbo outlet elbow. 13.2 after adding a 3" turbo-back exhaust. (it is considerably faster now though)
These cars definitely perform for cheap and they are fun as hell to drive

They are fun. Mine drives like an overgrown go-cart. I'm wanting to sell it but I aint sure yet. Only thing I dont really like is the space. You can seat 2 with no problems but the back is not made for tall people lol Mine is a Laser RS.

No. Why would you want to replace a 2 liter, iron block, aluminum head, 450-500hp capable 4 cylinder 4G63 that comes in the car with an iron block, aluminum head, 2 liter SR20DET capable of roughly the same?
