Anyone here know how fast an Eagle Talon TSI is? This kid has only got an exhaust, intake and headers along with the factory turbo. Any idea how fast that is? I've got a 01 Cobra with around 400 hp. Not really worried just kind of curious.

 

i drove a brand new 92 one ,,i was impressed....all wheel drive ,,there quick from the punch ..look out the new er ones are faster now...and light

 

A well-driven TSI can run 14.6-14.9 in the 1/4

 

For one, his car doesn't have headers so hes probaly a clueless ricer if he claims so. bonus points for you

90-94 light mods like those could get him high 12's IF he has a boost controller and knows his stuff.
95-99 maybe a high 13 w/ a boost controller and everything perfect.

I wouldn't worry at all about a 95+ on stock turbo, its very small. You should have no problem either way.
Wait, is he awd or fwd? If he's FWD forget everything i just said cause he ain't getting close to those times.

 

Yeah i wouldnt worry too much with a cobra of 400 hp on a basically stock talon. You will blow his doors off. I raced one with my stock gt and he had some modifications done and he got me by like half a car legnth.

 

They can be fast with alot of work and a turbo timer and stuff but if it is how you described it you will smoke it!

 

Thats quite a HUGE performance jump for a stock TSI only running these times:

1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 6.8 15.1
1992 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 6.7 15.2
1995 Eagle Talon TSi 6.4 15.1

I have seen some impressive times with these cars but not with a few simple bolt on's

 

Turbo timers don't give any hp, lol, they just keep the car running after you turn it off to cool down the turbo. My friend has a 96 Talon TSI AWD, its a 2nd Gen, its real fast. All he has done to it is a CAI, 3" catback, hard upper intercooler piping, and a boost controller. His car runs high 14s stock, me and him ran our cars and we were 100% dead even when we were both stock. Turbo talons/eclipes are mad fast, they respond VERY WELL to mods and can blow your doors off when you least expect it. But with a 400hp cobra, you wont have any probs with a close to stock one. If he has an upgraded turbo though, watch out. I hope what I said was coherent, I'm trashed right now and its real late [&:]

 

Not really, a 50 trim turbo for like $500 they will put 400 to the wheels, they are nothing to laugh at.

 

Boost controllers by themselves wont put those cars anywhere near those times. They need a lot more mods than that. Technically its called an exhaust manifold, but it could be called headers if you want. But with 400 hp, you should have no prob, but if he is AWD he will rape you off the line, unless you have a way to get traction
