Wow a proper rotational firing order, rare on kits for these cars. I thought mine was the only one that had that

. Good job!

It should if it can bolt up to a factory overpipe.

Also wondering if any more work on additional frame bracing has went under way since this design loses the diagonal stock bracing etc...

We're working on an ETA right now and will provide updates as soon as we can. We personally are not fans of coatings or header wrap. Heat radiation from our uncoated/unwrapped header should not be an issue at all. We do not need any additional bracing either, since the weight of our overpipe and turbo are supported by a beefy bracket off of the transmission. The header itself only needs to support it's own weight, which with a tubular (non weld-el) header, will be very lightweight. Hope this answers your question.\

I know the kit comes with a down pipe and over pipe..I plan on running this kit with a catless header. Is it possible to fit a catted down pipe?

It would be possible to add a cat to your exhaust intermediate pipe rather than our downpipe.

Im assuming intermediate pipe is the same as mid pipe...that clears things up a lot!!

I meant the removal of stock diagonal bracing. Sometime ago it had been mentioned somehow you guys were working on an alternative to that chassis bracing. Not turbo related but related to them having to be removed due to your IC design.

Coming down the final stretch.

I have a question though... what radiator are you guys using? I have the Robispec and it seems to be a little bit too big.

Looking good! As for radiator on my end - stock.

OjiGeorge · 02-13-2014, 07:44 PM

Has anyone in the PNW bought this kit? I'd pay for a ride along... Would like to see how the P-tuning kit compares to the AVO.

@ptuning

We're running the koyo racing radiator on our FRS. We've install the same radiator to @kanundrum frs as well as selling the same radiator to a few of our customers out of state that have also purchased our turbo system. We anticipated that most people running our turbo system will upgrade to an aftermarket radiator so we made sure our FMIC clears the thicker radiator core like the Koyo.

If you notice that with our FMIC, we used the largest Bell Intercooler core possible but still allow ample clearance above the FMIC and below the bumper beam to allow some fresh air to flow directly to the radiator and not just heated air from the backside of the FMIC.

That is the setup I was considering. Is it actually interfering with the piping, or intercooler?

The front bottom pushes forward, making the AC condenser contact the intercooler, and the rear top is pushed farther into the engine bay, so you can't use the intake shroud pieces that come with the turbo kit. You can make it work... I'd just rather not.
