If you don't look around or get an interjection from others, how do you ever make an informed decision?

The title of this thread clearly states AVO vs. Greddy.

Why did you derail the thread?

Don't you think he already looked around and decided on the AVO and the GReddy kits as his two favorites? Remember as we have been told multiple times by multiple people, the GReddy and the SBD kits are not the same. Also, don't act like you are impartial in your review of the SBD kit. I mean your whole post was an SBD sales pitch. How are your drag racing times relevent in a GReddy vs AVO thread?

I would just recommend better pads and maybe SS lines for increased pedal feel and confidence in stopping

.... I did look around. And from the layout and setup of both I had decided on those two.

I also factored in which shop will be doing the work next to me and they have experience with the two kits I made this thread on.

I made this thread to narrow it down to those two.

The Cheap comment was meant to be relative to the GReddy kit.

I paid just a little over 4200 USD for my AVO kit, their BOV and a new filter from them. I do not feel let down by that price at all.

Why would you turbo your car if not to get more power/acceleration? That's why I tossed in some 1/4 mile info. I never mentioned anything about similarities of kits, just that there was another solution in the same price range with more goodies, similar sized turbo and such.


Also, I was considering a GReddy kit, an Innovate blower and AVO kit about six months ago. I decided against all because my BRZ is my daily beater. If I mod it, it will become another project, so no more mods was my reasoning for not doing anything. That was until I received an offer I couldn't refuse.


Sure, we're all different and we do things because we want certain aspects of our car enhanced. Sorry, OP, didn't mean to be a ****, but sometimes those of us who're happy would love to share what makes us happy.

Not to be a **** here, but you already modded the aspiration of the engine, and added coilovers and exhaust, it's already been a project for you? I mean the way you kinda wrote that implies that the Greddy and AVO kit aren't meant for daily drivers, which is the exact opposite...

I understand why you went SBD because you got a deal on it, that's great and all, but unless that applies to the OP, which I don't think it does, then the OP can rule it out based on what he previously said, his tuner knows the Greddy kit and AVO kit. We aren't bashing your advice in general just your SBD advice. If you have advice on the other two kits, by all means share

when did this become a Boss Paco hate thread...

Shut up and get back on topic...


My opinion given the options is an AVO kit. It's what Subaru would have done withthe car if the turbo'd it.

Everyone has a different opinion on what a project is, I suppose. I gave my reasoning for throwing out the SBD kit as it meets the OPs expectations. I already apologized to the OP, and if you read into my post that the AVO or the GReddy kit weren't good for a daily, then that is wrong.


If you wanna whore this thread out, please don't. Just PM me the hate mail.
