Turbo Kit Choices

I have owned my FRS for just over one year now. I have been staying on top of turbo kit options and reading the forums for customer opinions. As well as watching video clips. It seems the most popular kits are the FBM, FA20CLUB, and AVO. It also seems that everyone appears to be happy with what they have purchased.

I have personally been torn between the FA20CLUB and Premium FBM kits. It sounds like the FA20CLUB kit and manufacturers are a great choice with professional installation/customer service. I live in Lexington, KY and have heard great things about Dynosty in Louisville, KY. I want something that will put a smile on my face.

I just wanted some kit owner opinions/feedback to help me further. Thanks in advanced.

the fa20club 60trim to me is amazing!! as you see in my thread and all the good reviews, im sure you have seen all the dyno pulls from fa20club and it has been proven to make the power it claims. I personally have 9,000 turbo miles and the car still runs amazing. I would say that for the customer service and realibily of At least 9,000 miles because that's how's far I put on the turbo its runs perfect!! I can't say anything bad about the other kits because I never used any of their products to compare but the numbers speak for themselves !!! Good luck on your choice

To be honest I didn't look too closely at fa20club kit until you joined and got it. The fact that you drive soo much really helps sell the kit to me. I was deadset on AVOs kit cause of the turbo placement and less heat issues but I haven't heard a complaint about overheating at all from fa20 kit yet.

Tony has a great spokemen in you

I would love a FI shootout consisting of members cars since I trust you people over vendors lol sorry

Thanks for the information fellas. I have thought about having the FA20CLUB shipped to Dynosty for install. I still want some input on the FMB kit. Anyone?

Rev works has been great for me, but their kit isn't available yet. You really can't go wrong with any of the well known options.

turbo spools at 4k and you will love the power it makes.

Thanks for the response. How much boost are you running on their kit? Dynosty sales the kit and I can drive to have it installed and tune by just driving an hour from where I live. The premium kit is my choice yet the FA20CLUB is about $5100 with all the options I want. Just a tough choice. Thanks again.
