This is my car. It's a '93 Eagle Talon TSI AWD Turbo running 16 lb. of boost on a 16G turbo. It has a top speed of 145mph, as tested on the Autobahn, before my old turbo (14b) blew, and I had to replace everything. It's not much right now, but I am working on it, piece by piece.
It took three months in the shop, but it's finally fixed!
The Turbo did not want to go quietly into the night. It took the valves, head, O2 sensor, and more with it on it's way to the grave. In fact the center shaft of the turbo shattered in at least 3 places.
Had to install a brand new head, new 16G turbo, and a new Evo 3 exhaust manifold, and some odds and ends (water pump, timing belt, etc.) after the turbo blew to pieces. Went ahead and threw in a Fluidyne radiator while I was at it.

This is me with my car.
My interior.
And my engine. The guy I bought it from went a little crazy with the ugly colors. I'm working to fix that. If you have any color scheme ideas let me know.

Something tells me that's hot.
My LED Under Glow. I had to take it out because the German winter road salt ruined the connections.
The wonderful German weather.
