I have heard of no-gasket setups working well. And yes, the surfaces would need to be machined flat, and to a very fine roughness. I think it could work. The flange on the manifold is 1/2 inch, and the turbo itself is not really prone to warpage. If I have to take it apart again ( most likely will ), it may be something I try.

I chose it over the Perrin due to the larger pipe diameter pipe (although I believe perrin now offers a three inch) and I've got several FI friends who have had issues with the Perrin not getting enough airflow through it. Not a problem so far with the Mishimoto. I have another CAI setup which is the Kansai intake scoop, basically a carbon Fibre HKS snorkel, with additional pieces to divert air to the scoop for the main grill. I was running this with modified stock air box (the whole front behind the larger scoop is cut away) with a cosworth panel filter. This works extremly well, but I was having some issues with my intake pipe coming off the turbo. My mechanics thought it was because that setup was too rigid so we're trying the mishimoto to give a little more flex and fixes the problem (plus it gives more room for my oil cooler fittings). |

I am considering the Mishimoto CAI to give room to my oil cooler lines too but I am running Robispec radiator.
I know I don't have much space and it will probably be a tight fit or I might need to modify the radiator support.

With the Mishimoto intake, does the mounting point interfere with the intercooler hardpipe in that area?

I kind of wonder if we will ever see a header upgrade with this kit, I do not know how they would make it fit, but things like flex joints would be nice..

I would also like to see 1/2 inch flanges that resist warping and better fit the available gaskets. IMHO, the port opening on the current flange is too large, making it troublesome to get a seal.

Personally I was just going to bend the bracket to suit, or even cut it off as the pipe is wedged in so tight that I don't think it's going to go anywhere. I'm changing out my intercooler some time this week so when I have the bumper off I'll play around with how it's sitting. |

I'm planning to get this kit within the next year, but budget is the biggest thing for me. lol just gotta save up.
Plus, I want Drift Office to tune my car but I'm from Chicago... Do you guys E-Tune? :/ I've heard way too many horror stories from all the tuning places in Chicago. |

Question:
Anyone running engine/tranny mounts with their AVO setup? I am tempted to try out the STI mounts - http://www.racecompengineering.com/i...-brz-fr-s.html The concern is that if we put anything in that goes lower than stock - the overpipe is going to start rattling again. I would need something that does not go lower at all - I am looking for more clearance underneath rather than less. Any help is appreciated! Thanks. Here's a look under the hood of my BRZ |

I am using the TRD uprated mounts, as well as the 3" AVO turbo outlet and over pipes. No rattling / contact issues at all

I am using the Perrin mounts. The over-pipe (Private Label 2.5") contacted in one spot:
I had to "adjust" it some with a hammer to clearance it enough. |
