How has this kit been tested?
The kit is actively tested in the track with AVO Japan BRZ. Also, the kit is being tested in USA through a variety of scenarios, from sea level elevation to 6000 feet elevation and temperatures from the hottest conditions to the coldest. A 2200 mile roundtrip to SEMA helped cover a lot of this varying conditions and was used to fine tune the ECUTek tune.
Will my local tuner be able to tune your awesome base map?
AVO approved tuners will have have access to unlocked base maps. They will be able to tweak it to your specific car.
With the Turbo location, can I keep the bottom skid plate or will I need to remove it?
The turbo sits about 2 inches above the undertray/skidplate. It reinstalls in the car. The turbo does not get in the way.
What is included i this kit?
FMIC and all necessary piping.
Unequal Length Exhaust Manifold
Oil and water-cooled Turbocharger
Turbocharger to Secondary cat engine pipe
Mechanical Oil Pump
Oil reservoir tank
All assorted hoses, clamps, fittings necessary.
And finally, a base map for running the car with the turbokit. This will be an Ecutek base map, and does require that you have a Ecutek license and cable for your car. If you have those already, we will send you a base map ROM. If you don't, you can purchase the license and cable with the kit, or from any Ecutek vendor.
What type of Turbo is used?
TD05 18g variant; AVO 18/49 turbocharger. Compressor wheel size 49.2/56 | Exhaust wheel size 50.5/68
Dyno numbers?
On 91 octane, Dyno numbers are: 230 WHP and 197 WTQ. Max Boost is achieved before 4K RPM.
Tune for other octane ratings (e.g. 93 octane) will come later on.
Will it hurt my car to use 93 octane while having a 91 octane map?
No, it will not hurt your car. If anything you will make a bit more HP than what the 91 Dyno plot says.
The Kit Moulded, reinforced black rubber piping look weak and cheap, I prefer Stainless Steel piping can I order it?
Moulded, reinforced black rubber piping was not chosen because it was cheap. It was chosen because it is best for this application. The hoses are reinforced with wires. They are so sturdy you can stand on top of them and they will not bend. They are good to 50 psi, no need to worry about them. There is no option for SS piping.
Why is the kit so cheap? Where are you cutting corners?
People may assume we are skimping on the parts. That's not the case at all, we can do the kits at that pricing because of the commitment we make towards them. We will be putting parts for the kits into our factory production line, and making a fairly significant investment towards tooling. We may not even break even on the kits in the first year. The idea we will be making the money back eventually. The kit will be RHD and LHD compatible as well, as we have operations in Japan, Australia, Thailand, and America.
We've been making turbocharger kits for cars for 30+ years, and are in this for the long haul. Our lineup of kits stretch from Toyota Landcruisers to the Mazda Miata, with a lot of other models in between.
Where is the kit being built?
The main factory operation is in Thailand. We moved our head staff and equipment there a while ago due to some large scale projects in that location. It keeps our pricing from going completely off the board - USD has lost about 35% or more of it's value vs. the Yen over the last few years.
What is the HP rating for the Intercooler?
The IC is rated up to 360 HP
Will this kit include a BOV? Can I use any BOV on this kit?
BOV will be an optional part, with an AVO 100% recirculate (or 50/50) available, as well as other aftermarket or even OEM. The flange for the BOV will be the same as the EVO 7/8/9, for customers that want a full "OEM" look to it.
Does the kit include a BOV or exhaust components coating?
Both items are offered as an option and at additional cost.
Does this kit remove both Cats?
This kit removes the Cat from the OEM exhaust Manifold. Your choice of exhaust will dictate if you keep the secondary Cat, located in the frontpipe.
Do other exhaust systems bolt on to this Turbo Kit?
Any header back exhaust that bolts on to the stock location of the OEM header will bolt on to this kit.
Where is the Dyno plot, where can I see videos, I want MOAAAARRRR!
Dyno plot is in the first page, Look up Avo turboworld on Facebook to see the cool videos showing off the kit.
