I am still loving my Full Blown kit, and I could not be happier with it. I realized I forgot to post my latest boost curve plot in this thread for people looking at running higher PSI on the Full Blown kit. This is with a Green 9.4 PSI spring in my Precision wastegate being controlled by a Go Fast Bits Electronic Boost Controller:



In other news my Advan RG-D in 18x9.5 +40 Gold form are arriving today. I hope they clear the front Brembos without a spacer. I am still evaluating my coilover options, but I will be definitely switcthing from my H&R Super Sports to coilovers to fit these wheels and will be wrapping them in Michelin Pilot Super Sport 265/35/18 tires. I can't wait.
what a beauty you have their my friend, fsr i always though you and Sports guy had AVO kits
Great choice on the tires they're the best all around tires, but if you end up going for a bit more power the MPSS won't hold up the power in lower gears.

When the news of the AVO kit first came out, I was set on getting one. Then the Full Blown kit came out, and it was actually available. I got desperate in December, and I had to have boost, and the Full Blown was available while the AVO was still taking pre-orders. In the end I think I made the right decision, but I do love the sound of David's AVO BRZ.

I really want to get boosted but I'm still indecisive, it seems like I'm crossing the AVO kit out , because I'm looking for a High HP build. The good thing is my car is going into storage for the next 2~ months and get some off time to think about which kit to get.

If you are going for big horsepower, then I definitely think one of the front top mount options are going to be best so you can fit larger turbos should you decide.

yeah exactly, its either full blown or some other front mount.

Do you plan on getting mad negative camber to fit the 265 up front ?
also any plans on building you motor, and denoting it with the current 14 psi

I am thinking -2 degrees should be enough in the front, and I plan to set the rear to -1 degree. If something should happen to the motor, which I don't expect, then I plan to do a simple low compression build with pistons and rods.

So the Advan RG-Ds came in yesterday and they fit, but barely :









There is actually more spoke to caliper clearance than on my 18x8 +42 TC105ns. I also ordered my 265/35/18 Michelin PSS and a set of BC coilovers. I figure if they are good enough for Jon Miller, then they are good enough for me.

I love gold Advan RG-D. One of my top wheels. Is there enough clearance at full compression? Almost looks like it'll contact the spring perch.

Spring perch and wheel clearance is fixed. They move together. I am not sure the tire will clear the spring perch, but that is why I am getting coilovers as well. I am following the 265 width Bible according to @Jive Turkey.
