First things first. Do not bother trying to use the stock boost gauge in that car, it runs off of the ECU and it estimates with small calculations what the PSI may be, the stock boost gauge is ushally 2-3 psi off.

What i recommend is getting yourself an aftermarket boost gauge you can get em used locally on craigslist or a cheapy one from a reputabile ebay power seller. or pick one up for 40-60$ from autozone.

After you do that mount it in a good location, they are very very simply to install, if yours does not come with an instruction paper, you can search boost guage install on dsmtuners.com or yahoo or google.


BUT BY ALL MEANS DO NOT TRY TO FIX THE STOCK GUAGE, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE ACTUAL PSI READING.

I want to supercharge a eagle talon

No point in doing and would be very expensive.

Superchargers are mainly used on higher powered engines and not 4 cylinders.

Talons are more of a high revving car and why a turbo is best suited. 

You will be better off upgrading components for more power and performance than waste time with a supercharger. 

If you have a non turbo then make sure you have a good engine, trans and frame before you do anything and really better off buying a TSI AWD factory made and the modify.

I have a 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD and the fan has started to continuously run after turning off the car. How do I get this to stop?

Unless you have a bad engine temp sender this should happen until the engine reaches the programed temperature.if it causes battery failure than you darn sure need to replace the sender

Antenna from 93 talon does not fit in 92 talon?!

On the 92 you have a rubber grommet in body,then you see black plastic insultarer and chrome fastener! Most junk yards have them for a buck or two. 91 should fit also!

1997 Eagle Talon TSI AWD oil pressure goes from zero to normal and back

Te 1st thing to do is replace the oil pressure guage sending unit, most times that is the problem, if press remains low use a mechanical test guage to verify what the oil pressure is, hook this tester up at the port the sending unit is screwed into.
