Thanks for the great write-up and response!
The reality is that you and sportsguy83 are the most visible members of the AVO turbo family in the forum, and if someone reads through both your build threads they will come to the conclusion that the AVO kit has a boatload of problems.

What i can say is that pretty much all the major players have a failed kit/car out there, just not all are known.

And that's the inherent problem we face. It's great to have a forum where we can interact together and also with people who develop these products, but it also makes people tend to keep quiet about their problems or try to minimize them so they don't ruffle any feathers.
It's important for the consumers of the community to ask tough questions like, "why the hell would gtrider recommend this kit when he has had so many issues?"
In this case, the AVO kit gets nothing but a reinforced positive review. In other cases, other kits have been revealed to be not worth the money.
Thanks again for the write-up. Balanced and honest consumer reviews are the best resource we have.
