So seems to me there is a different focus to the AVO vs AP kit.
Yes, the AVO kit is cheaper. But, it has for example an internal wastegated turbo vs a nicer vband external wastegate turbo of the AP kit. Sure the AVO kit comes with a header, but it then locks you to UEL. May not be bad for some, but the AP kit leaves you to choose your own header design, and replaces the overpipe, which the AVO kit leaves you pick up elsewhere. The AVO kit has silicone hoses, which might be ok for some, but the AP kit has more stout solid piping.

So in conclusion, seems to me the currently proposed AVO kit is a more entry level kit, and the AP, while being more expensive, is more expensive for a reason, especially if you are looking to run higher levels of boost down the road.
