AVO turbo kit for BRZ - initial build thread

[AVOturboworld]

The crossover pipe is definitely the most complex piece in the entire system, barring the exhaust manifold.

Some more updates and more photos from the stage 3 testing.

We hooked up the boost controller and got a bit more torque, we got a bit more power going.

power is at the engine. The uncorrected torque figure works out to about 365ft/lbs


Now, this is a nice boost curve, well, plateau


Some pictures of the 3-inch exhaust




Testing will probably get held up a bit by the holidays, but we'll have more data in early January.

Can you say TORQUE?

Any updates on the stage 3?

[AVOturboworld]

I'll be heading over to Japan myself from today, so I should be able to get some more updates while I'm there, and finalize some details.

Keen to know when pricing will be revealed. Any plans for "upgrade pricing" for us early adopters.

Sorry about the delay, got back from Japan last Friday, and honestly was just wore out. Getting back into the swing of things today (since it's a holiday, and quiet...).

In regards to the above actuator, I cannot say because we haven't fitted one. And to be honest, we have no need - we've got actuator upgrades at 8, 12, and 15psi. All of them are adjustable for an additional 1~3 psi, so that would basically cover any range of boost you can run on this engine. Our upgraded actuators are also cheaper than the above, and they will fit.

But if you are planning to run higher boost levels, you are probably better situated by fitting an 8psi (or 12psi for high boost setups) and then getting a boost solenoid plumbed in and run off of ecutek. It'll cost a bit more in tune setup, but if you are planning to run more than 8psi then you should already be budgeting out for additional tuning and hardware.

I've updated the original post on the front with current info, updated dyno charts, information on the upcoming Stage 3, and fixed minor details that have changed over time.

Sorry, this is an odd comment/question, but are you using Permatex UltraCopper in conjunction with the actual gaskets? I've read the pros and cons of doing this, I was just wondering what the reasoning was

We do use that, or something similar, quite often. For us the reasoning is simple, it does help with sealing it up.

@AVOturboworld , i was just wonder is there any way to order the turbo kit with the polished look instead of the stock oem black color?
