AVO definitely have their game together and I think this will be a great FI option. For the price it cannot be beat.

Personally, I was hung up between vortech and AVO, but after driving the AVO, I feel confident I would go with them. They are a big company with great history and a local presence.
I'm a little sad when you said you didnt even hear the turbo spooling....

It is part of the fun factor to drive a turbo car when you can hear the turbo spooling, the air pressure going thru the piping and the blow of valve of course.. It makes the car feel more alive.

If it is too quiet inside something will be missing. It is a sport car not a buick after all.
If somebody dont want noise dont get a sport car.

At least, special thanks to the UEL headers to give that agressive subaru sound outside the car..
