That's a trick little catch can! Took me a minute to spot it. AVO did a nice job making it look just like the stock intake resonator.

Looking good man. Back when I was in town, Bob was showing me all the extra stuff for stage 1.5 on your car. Looking forward to some numbers!

Thank you to @Drift-Office and @AVOturboworld!

New actuator and running about 8psi!

Final results:
259whp/223wtq (std)
253whp/218wtq (sae)

Quite a jump from stock (160whp/133wtq sae)!

Had the turbo installed at ~6500miles, now at 10,200miles (~6 months) with no issues!

Nice build journal man! I'm hoping soon to secure one and do an AVO build as well. First I gotta get rid of the 370Z I have.

Thanks! Been loving my setup. This week I drove a rented new loaded Camaro SS in CA. In comparison, power was about equal, interior was nicer but the steering feel and driver/car connection was numb (good for really long drives, I guess). And Holy-blind-spots (The A and B pillar)! Quite a thirsty v8 also.

Hands down AVO BRZ > Camaro SS.

From your experiences so far, has the transmission been shifting harsher than before the turbo?

ZionsWrath · 09-29-2013, 08:57 AM

Hey, where to get that catch can? Works good?

Are you running any camber arms? Just wondering cus im getting coils and will try not to use any camber arms. i just want stock camber and toe if that's possible. Sorry im a noob on this suspension thing

As you lower the rear of the car the suspension will gain negative camber. There is no camber adjustment in the OEM arms. The OEM alignment specs allow for as much as -1.2 degrees of camber in the rear so as long as you don't lower the car too much you can maintain the OEM alignment specs.

Nifty, clean setup under the hood. One cool thing of this and Ptunings, keeping the weight low COG. Your results on what fuel you use?

BRZranger · 11-28-2013, 04:02 PM

Sorry for late reply, been very busy. Turbo has been running well, no issues. I'm at 14,600 miles now, so about 8k miles on it. Using 92 octane from Costco.

Yeah, using camber arms for rear, it was about -2.5 degrees on rear without arms (1.5" drop). Camber is now -1.5".

You should replace the front reflectors for the ones they use in the Japanese market.

The ones I found for my gray BRZ where smoked rather than clear, and they look better on darker colors. Up to you though. They really clean up the lines in the car.

How much did it cost you to have them fix up your seat at the upholstery shop?
