Has anyone ever purchased from this website before?
http://partsaccessoriesstore.com/i-1729804.aspx
It list the AVO Turbocharger for $8,800 less. If you purchased from this website before and can vouch for them please let me know, also what would be the best clutch to equip with the AVO turbocharger? |

I think you mean $880? One thing to keep in mind is that both AVO's pricing and this site's pricing don't include the EcuTek cable or license. No idea how reputable the site is though.

Best way to find out is ask AVO if they are selling their kits through that site.

AVO just recently went with a very well known US distributor that caters to many websites and stores. That being said AVO will have a very small relationship, if any, with the third party site. AVO -> Distributor -> Website Also, that $3520 price is at cost. So unless they plan to rape you on shipping, its an error by someone who isnt doing very well at their job.

Never hurts to ask Paul.
Meh. I went straight to an authorized distributor for my kit.

That site was registered through a domain-by-proxy register. Big red flag in my book.
It was also registered on April 16th, 2013. Looks shady. Sounds shady.

Thank you! You are right, but anyone can create a site similar to ours. And many have, shady ones at that. Just be careful and do your research. Also, we carry the parts you're looking for
