So many options! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

With all these new kits in development or being released, I am at a loss.

I think the deciding factor will be which kit gets CARB exemption.

Yea, I am purchasing supercharger in the spring and all these new options are just making my head spin. I'm hoping the CSG guys get their hands on some and put em through the ringer before I plunk down my cash.

I think I want to go SC as well after reviewing the Turbo options on this site as well as already owning a turbo car.

So far it is down to Sprintex's setup because they maintain the stock airbox.

Why is that such an advantage that it's enough to be the deciding factor?

Tons of good options. No CARB turbos yet, AFAIK. I'd just look at the torque curves and be sure to budget for cooling if you're going to the track.

Keep in mind the lack of power in the lower rpm range. I recently sold my jackson sc, and on the lookout for a used avo kit. The sc was great for track and autocross, but a bit of a let-down for daily driving. Good luck in your search.

If having a CARB sticker is necessary though, the options are limited to innovate, jackson, and kraftwerks in the far future. I'm not sure if there are any real turbo options that are CARB certified.

So does the avo turbo kit.

Most likely, any kit with CARB exemption will maintain both cats and the airbox.

So we'll see which one of these kits will actually get the Numbers.

Not an issue with positive displacement units - best low end and throttle response around.

I read through that owners thread, so many fitment issues with the AVO Kit.

Has anyone installed one and not had issues?

Very true. I was tempted to go with an innovate before buying the Jackson, but I was a bit swayed by third party opinions. There are some really bad ass innovate setups out there.

I like the cleaner, stock look of the engine bay when the stock air box is left intact.

I think filter on a stick is pretty ghetto looking unless it has a cover or box over it, see Vortech's SC kit if you want a nice looking filter on a stick in a box look.

There are quite a few happy customers with the avo kit. The only solution I've heard of were different gaskets. The full blown had some issues with a few warped flanges as well.
