@Mr.Jay, something arrived today that will bring our builds closer together yet again. Hint, I may be asking @AVOturboworld and @Drift-Office for advice and tuning support come this spring

What could it be?

Hey guys, just a question for those have you that have installed the kit....

Does it come with all of the necessary gaskets? (Exhaust, etc)

No, no gaskets. That is up to you. Some people use the existing OEM gaskets but they usually do not like to be reused. So after a while you will probably get a leak (as some people have commented on here)

You will want to either get new OEM Subaru gaskets, which everyone states are expensive, or do what many have done and picked up Grimmspeed gaskets.

Hope that helps man

Nah, it's basically equivalent to their stage 2 kit once I get a 3bar MAP sensor and have it tuned. Road trip to Drift Office will be required too haha

Nice! Let me know. I will make the trip down and visit as well!

My AVO kit is on order so I'm in the process of stockpiling everything I'll need for the install. I picked up an AEM Failsafe wideband and I'm in the process of figuring out where to mount the O2 bung.

Can I just mount it into the secondary o2 Sensor location in the downpipe and not install the factory o2 sensor?

I BELIEVE yes you can. I welded a bung on the Overpipe for the wideband

protpibe · 01-03-2014, 12:30 PM

I was going to weld one on the overpipe but this would be much easier. If the ecutek tune deletes the secondary o2 sensor code then there isn't any reason a cel should come up. That sensor doesn't do anything anyways

I ended up buying an AVO front pipe and it came with an o2 location for the failsafe.

I agree, just say should because I don't know anyone doing it so I can't say for a fact it will all be ok.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can someone show/explain how i can set my BOV to 50% vent and 50% recirculation?

Assuming we are talking about the AVO BOV, it has (on its side) a plate held with allen screws, remove it and it will be 50/50, install it and it will be 100% recirc.
