If I was going FI, this kit would be my pic.
Just simple stuff like the flexi's on the manifold show they are thinking long term.
Great brand, great turbo (not ball bearing so can be rebuilt for naff all)
And, this kit will be for the hardware you need. You sort out the tuning and fueling. Not like all the other kits with included ecu flashes, some of which won't reduce the price if you don't want the flash.
Even the fact that another kit has recently come to market that (IMO) is a direct copy of this kit.

Again, when I was considering FI, this is where I was. I'd used the t518z turbo before and it was amazing. Even when I popped a motor, I had the turbo rebuilt for less than $400.
I was all for the AVO kit, but over time I felt there was too many compromises made. The oil pump for a start is asking for trouble. The piping route and bends they ended up having to use in order to put the turbo where they wanted, and use the stock air box, are not ideal.
The turbo they are using, I have no respect for. Its a cheap turbo.
And, by using that cheap turbo and by mass producing the kit, we were told the price would be low, and I don't believe it is; compared to other kits that either include more product, a better quality turbo, or in most cases, both.
