I've been back and forth looking at all options and considering all requirements for a DD. I am not the best example (had AVO, sold it and now custom kit).
BUT for a true DD with the casual spirited run (as long as you are really really real with your goals and they don't change much) and considering this is FI out the door, (meaning everything else is stock or at the most some exhaust mods), my vote goes to AVO.
I almost picked up a S/C but I don't like dealing with belts snapping, oil inside them replacement or them using engine power to move. I also did not pick other turbo kits because either quality is truly garbage or there are some heat issues for dd'ing (temps might go a little bit up on stuck traffic). My choice also disregards CARB certification.
So my choice goes like this:
AVO stg. 1 $4100 Includes basemap safe for 91 octane gas in California (easy to install yourself)
BPV to recirculate turbo blow off $125
AEM Failsafe $300
One gauge pillar pod $50?
FBM Oil Cooler $600
ECUTEK License/Cable ~$600
Brake pads/fluid/SS lines $300
Catch Can $300?
Turbo blanket $100
Total: $6475
That is really as low as I would go. I would expect this setup to last, be fun, responsive, not overheat and be safe with stopping power.
Some prices might vary (brakes might be only $200) so there is a little wiggle room to get it close to $6K and also the Catch Can is not life or death necessary on a 5 psi car, but I would add it because it helps extend the life of the motor.
