Long time lurker here.
Have a July build 2012 GT86 manual that has run an AVO Stage 1 kit since March 2013. This is with a stock overpipe and frontpipe, and AVO's 2.5" resonated catback, sitting on 18" TE37SL with low profile tyres.
She has seen a bit of a hard life - I daily'd it from the time it was boosted at 18,000km through to 78,000km. It hasn't missed a beat in this time. At the 60,000km mark I decided we would swap the "stock" 5psi spring for an 8psi actuator, EBCS, fuel pump, 1000cc injectors and E85 with an Ecutek tune - the one and only dyno run it had was 240whp on E65 (Dyno Dynamics hearbreaker dyno) but with an erratic boost profile (peaked at 7.5psi at 4,000rpm and was down to 4psi at 7,000rpm. Learned that my spring was faulty and not pulling as much boost as the box said - have since swapped it for a 12psi spring with a "safe" non-dyno tune for RON98 and E85.
Curiously, while the 12psi was working as advertised on bench test, I only pulled about 9-10psi - apparently due to a pressure drop across the intercooler.
Haven't driven it for seven months (rural hospital attachment) but am back now - awaiting an Empire 2.5" overpipe, MAP resonated catless 2.5" frontpipe and a Hypertune Intercooler. Have decided I'll probably end up running 16lb at most, get a dyno tune and call it a day. I guess 1000cc injectors are a bit of overkill.
Will keep you all posted :-)
