The Full Blown should work no problem. The oil lines run through the driver side headlight area, up above the bumper beam, and over to the passenger fog light area.

Perfect, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Just went to an autocross today. Tested out my new PTuning GoPro tow hook mount. Turbo makes a ton of noise with my custom open intake + 100% vent BOV lol. Enjoy.

There might be a coolant leak on my AVO turbo where the banjo fitting connects to the turbo housing or where the host connects to the banjo fitting. I'm thinking the latter because even after tightening the hose clamps, a few heat cycles and they seem to be loose again.(I can twist the hose back and forth on the fitting and regularly low on coolant)

Does anyone know the size of the banjo fitting that connect to the turbo ? I'd like to swap them for banjo to an fittings for the coolant lines instead of the barbed end w/hose clamp.

Thanks.

Update on my kit.

7k miles on stage 1 turbo kit with base map and still running strong. Great plug and play kit once all the install errors were tweaked everything has been fine since. 3 track days, lots of spirited back road runs, and mostly driving around town everyday.

I drove my friend's car with Ptuning's kit that dyno'd 290whp and our cars felt about the same. His is smoother since it's dyno tuned, his clutch catches harder since it's upgraded, but I couldn't tell a significant difference in power.

Over all I'm happy with the kit and would recommend it for someone wanting more power from a plug & play upgrade.

OMG.
You think there was anything causing excessive stress on it?
What did you change it to?

You've been running your AVO since ~September right?

gee wiz you've been unlucky with this thing.

Yep I've had some bad luck. But thankfully paul at Avo have been very helpful. I'm not quite sure how it cracked but I was sent a replacement and it seems much more heavy duty

Well at least that's a little bit of good news.
There seems to be a number of kit generations that @AVOturboworld has released. Improvement in each generation as you see with the stout replacement part.
I wonder what generation you have, or even I have... I ordered in feb 14'.

Pretty sure I ended up with first gen kit. Just got the 8psi actuator on today.....and my great luck...was to tight at first and boosted to 15. Now I can hear a boost leak. Fun now the search begins. It's making it spool slow

An unexpected 15psi and all that happened was a boost leak.. Your luck may be changing for the better my friend.
