Meh. Scientific statistics say 25-30. I'll roll with their facts. I'm not talking "smack", I'm pointing out the mathematical obvious. E85 is less efficient and ultimately will end up costing you more. If doing some rather basic math is smack talking then I suppose guilty as charged.

i'll stick to 92 since its a not even a half mile out of my way home to snag it at the cheapest chevron off 205 @212....... Plus the dudes there are always hella dope and treat my car with 100% respect. Always the same guys rocking out to some old 90's rock.

Smooth factory feeling powerband, instant power delivery? Sounds like Paul's car with the AVO setup. Maybe you should go for a ride.

I am buying the AVO kit. Unlike other posters, I don't pop my hood to get the girls to take off their shirts. I have outgrown that age, thank you, and put modifications on my car for more practical reasons. I do however get a kick out of opening a hood and NOT seeing the turbo!

I've seen all the dynos from bob, I've seen all the dynos from Perrin.

Since I've grown up, I do care about the quality of parts and the visual appeal if I am going to spend thousands of my hard earned dollars. It's the same reason I spent the extra money to have my eclipse redone at PSI.

I just don't see that build quality in the AVO kit, I'm sorry. The performance is great, which I believe I mentioned above. But it looks like something from eBay.

And yes, you can see the turbo as soon as you pop the hood and look in...

Well, I think Ben and Johnny plus a few others are coming down again, with new mods, we can chat then and I'm sure Paul / AVO wouldn't mind going for test drives. :)

I've sat in a Vortech SC'd BRZ at Perrin, now I need to drive up to Driftoffice to check out the AVO!

Please do and give us a long description of both so it can help us decide what we want as well. :) Not that I have the money for that right now.

Hey OP, to bring this topic back from the dead, any updates from the AVO setup at Drift Office?

I have not had the chance to drive up there yet. Work and life has been interfering. I'll probably give them a call today.

well i spent 6700 on a stage 1.5 AVO turbo for my auto frs...totally worth the money! i dont really have anything to compare it to besides stock but it makes a huge difference. the power is always there if needed, just give it some gas and go. this might be since im in an auto i always have boost.

instead of having to wait till your in the 5500 or higher rpm to feel some oomph its more at like 2500. also if its wet out you dont want to romp on the gas since you could break traction pretty easy.

*edit* the 6700 includes parts, labor and tuning.

I'm actually trying to decide between the 2 as well. I'm leaning towards turbo. But after this thread I'm leaning towards sc. Glad this thread is actually useful and not just people bashing on either or.

Mine is presently at Drift Office getting the AVO kit installed.

nice, tell us how your drive goes after you get it back!.

I heard about your drive - or at least your ride along with Bob... :D
