AVO Turbo Kit Owners Topic

On 98 octane (which is about 94 octane in american standard) you should be fine running up to 8psi on the standard setup with an e-tune. WHP is typically between 260-290whp in that setup. With the Fensport tune you should be good.

So it will be around 300-330hp on engine does it hold all that inside easily?

I'm still on the original kit we fit 3 years ago, and have done about 44,000 miles without issue! You should be fine!

The only things that went out on mine were the factory motor mounts. It could be because of the Texas heat. You also have to watch the oil line above the block that goes through the turbo. It tends to leak but can be fixed with washers from what I was told.

How been your experience with WMI so far? Since I dont E85 in my area, I am considering it.

I haven't had it tuned to get all of the power I could handle yet, but to be honest, even without the power gains I still see value in not worrying about what kind of moose piss is sitting in the gas station holding tanks up here in Canada.

Depends if you have an oil cooler or not.

I usually put in 5.5L

[nopocrakr]

I was told that because of the added spaces from the reservoir that now it take 2 extra quarts. and no oil cooler

I'm not that great at the forum ways . But I was told that because of the turbos reservoir you need to add two extra quarts . And i do not have a oil cooler.

Wow don't put 2 quarts in lol.

On initial install, you'll have to add a bit of oil, but the amount of oil you will put in on an oil change will be almost the same since the reservoir and turbo won't drain into the pan when the car shuts off.

Thanks man, that was a big help!

Got the ultra quiet resonator welded in which helped a bit, but it's still too loud for my liking with the evo3.. so I'm currently getting a magnaflow racemuffler put in right before the bottle resonator. Hoping this #killsthedrone.

Other than that I replaced the turbo to reservoir line with a high temp double wall silicone 5/8th hose and got much wider clamps. I then bought a two pack of DEI protect a boot sleeves, cut one in half and put it around the hose before installing (they can withstand direct heat of 1200F). Hopefully no more seepage - nothing catastrophic yet so I'm going to keep holding my breath.

Lastly the rattling noise!
So I found a few things around the engine bay which I thought were source of the rattle, removed the overpipe heatshield, removed a bracket by the windshield wiper tank that wasn't connected to anything but was touching a charge pipe, found that the oil dipstick could be the real issue all along as its touching another charge pipe and could vibrate. I wrapped it in a lot of tape to see if it went away and it sadly did not. I also put unused hose on the turbo reservoir breather neck to keep it from directly touching another charge pipe as well as flattened out the radiator brace that's right next to it.

No dice by adjusting anything listed.

Soo, the hunt continues..
The rattle comes between 2300-2800rpm, and is coming from the front driver side. Seems to not be present when the car is cold (or atleast is much more quiet). The rattle intensifies to a point after the car is warm. The noise sounds exactly like a heatshield being tapped on with something metallic. Just can't pinpoint it.. If I'm barely on the throttle at between those rpms the noise gets louder, but if I increase the throttle just barely it goes away completely. Can't replicate in neutral either..
Any ideas?
