AVO turbo kit for BRZ - initial build thread - Page 28 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

No details on the turbo, but it wouldnt be anything ground breaking, the AVO stuff works so well already. Im sure the R&D is being done well though...

look at any of the N/A kits and im sure there are a lot of common parts, so im guess that an "upgrade" to a bigger turbo wouldn't be too difficult...

I do apologize for the lack of updates, but R&D takes time. The big stuff is worked out, the devil, as they say, is in the details.

Turbocharger choice(s) are not ground-breaking - we've decided on having a couple of flavors available off the bat, and they are both in the "proven" performance category. I hesitate to call them top-secret, the only reason I haven't released details is because there may be some minor changes after testing. While frequent updates serve to stoke curiosity, they could cause confusion if we talk about option a, then during production testing find option b or c actually offered better performance. Then spend the next 3 months on the phone, email, and explaining that no, we didn't use option a, we did this instead.

So again, not really trying to hide anything, just making sure details are locked down.

Thank you for the update. Based on what I have read so far I have a feeling you guys are going to be getting some of my money soon.

Some minor updates - factory took some (crappy) cellphone pics of the finished silicone portions of the piping.

Have an actual date for production tune, testing, dyno data - look for major updates from 17th-21st of this month.
