He wants a 3" OP that connects to his AVO 2.5 turbo downpipe.

Oh, didnt Avo release a 3" version? A tapered version could be possible but bringing something else into an already cramped space would be a challenge for sure.

Any updates on the tune?


Resistance- Because if we fight we might lose, but if we don't fight we've already lost.

Yeah but they changed the flange location so only their front pipe will work ... In ok just running the 2.5 front pipe, I would just prefer 3. Not the end of the world !

I think that your exhaust will be as large as your smallest restriction so the turbo 2.5 downpipe will still be your restriction even with 2 in OP

I've got a hold of the Ecutek FI example rom and i used that as start. The car isn't ready to run yet. I also asked Jamesm to build me a base/start up tune just in case.

Here is what Im playing with today. Haven't even run my first manifold and Im already starting the second.

I'm excited to see the results

I have really enjoyed reading through this build. Like others, I love that rear unibody brace. Thanks for sharing your progress. Now quick question if you don't mind, On your StopTech BBK did you also elect to change out the rear rotors for StopTech rotors? does the StopTech BBK silver caliper color match that of the factory rear brake caliper fairly well?

[Top-Secret]

super stoked on this build, just read the entire thing. kind of bummed to see that your rear brace isnt for sale tho:-(
was really hoping i could get my hands on one of them.
hope the tuning is going well.

The project is on hold while my powder coater takes his sweet time. Tomorrow I'm getting back to work on the twin scroll manifold.

Rears are stick accept stop tech pads. The color is a good match if your calipers are clean. I love the kit. Doesn't look or feel lop sided like you may think with just a front kit.

if the projects on hold it means you have time to fab up some 'extra' rear strut bars for your friends all over the world. i feel its a good way to put some extra cash into the build. which it seems you dont really need.
i guess you could go on a nice date with someone haha
