Its time. Bottom end is getting worn out. Im tired of trying to tune a worn out motor with tons of Phantom Knock, It seems impossible to get a good tune with this thing. Its got quite a bit of blow-by, its smoking and my leak down test proved it too.
So... Ive been poking around looking at prices and such and Im wondering what parts I should go with. Heres a List I got from SlowBoy. Because they have everything listed with prices Im using them just as a reference, Not necessarialy going to buy from them. Pistons: Ross $440 Wiseco $440 JE $550 Rods: Eagle $350 Scat $320 (with ARP studs installed) Im going to get all APR studs, Not sure what bearings to get, Clevite? Stock? I guess my biggest question is the Pistons and Rods. Is there a huge difference between the Eagle and Scat? What about Pistons? Any opinions on the ones I have listed? Im a big fan of JE's in my Quad but not sure about how they hold up in a DSM. Or if theyre worth the extra $100 Im running a T04E 60 trim turbo just FYI. For all my mods see the DSM Registry link in my sig. Opinions guys... -------------------- 1992 TSi AWD, Auto swapped

Scat vs. Eagle, i have not used either but my research says scat is the same as eagle but with better quality, but there are no big #s on dsm scat rods yet. If i was building a motor i would get wiseco pistons, cheap and good enough for 650whp+ street/strip car.
