Or in other words...Mitsubishi..

Usually refered to Mitsubishi Eclipses GST/GSX

When ppl say DSM injectors it usually means Eclipse Injectors, Same goes for DSM Blow Off Valve(BOV)

Though DSM is used in refference to Mitsubishi parts, the same parts are used in the eagle talon. FYI.

Thanks. I've never heard of an Eclipse or a Talon, so they probably never sold them in the UK. Bang goes a potential surce of cheap parts, I expect!

Re: WTF is a 'DSM'? (KeyserSoze)

Diamond Star Motors (commonly abbreviated to DSM) was a vehicle manufacturing division jointly owned by the Chrysler Corporation and the Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. The name Diamond Star Motors comes from the parent companies logos: a pentastar (Chrysler), and three diamonds (Mitsubishi). Three of the vehicles produced via Diamond Star Motors are also generally referred to as DSMs: the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, and the Plymouth Laser.

LOL!!! That would be true for about 80% of DSM's in my area. I'm really glad the guy who asked didn't get flamed. Str8 answers are da shizzle.
