AVO turbo kit for BRZ - initial build thread

[MSTiFK8R]

I wonder if there would be ability to run as little boost as possible for a reason - winter icy roads or fuel saving

it could be done by special ECU map with IWG staying open all the day long - but some boost would still be generated

HOW MUCH THOUGH?

Or a EBC, or don't go into boost?

ECUtek can take far lead without using such an oldscool thing as EBC imho

but what would the teeeerrrbbo say when you floor that petal, despite the WG is spread wide as Missisippi?

Right!

What?

Freaking funny pic hahaha.




Nevermind....

The AVO catch can has 3 ports (that I can see) where are they connected to??

[AVOturboworld]

One line from the oil reservoir tank off the turbo, one from the standard breather line/pcv valve, one back to the intake system. If you don't have a breather tank, or just a two port (in/out) style, you will need to plumb the breather line from the reservoir back into the standard breather line system via a supplied t piece and line.

To answer a separate question, there's no point in running a "lower" boost system at any time to get better gas mileage. The best system for getting better gas mileage is to simply keep your foot out of the gas. Turbo's don't automatically boost as you get into the higher rpm's, they do that in direct response to the amount of throttle input vs. rpm. You can rev it all the way to 7k at partial throttle and not break into positive manifold pressure. Due to that fact, turbocharged variants of n/a motors often get slightly better gas mileage on the freeway than stock.

So if I slap on AVO stickers all over my car can I get a free kit ?

How is the lag on this turbocharger? Is it really noticeable if there is? Also, being now you are producing more HP to the vehicle should i upgrade my suspension(sway bars, coil overs, wider tires size varies, etc.) to balance out the power? If so, what do you recommend?

One of the forum members drove our car with the kit:

I'd look at how you are planning to drive the car before planning out suspension upgrades - it's a very capable car right out of the door, and while the power upgrades make it more edgy, it doesn't overpower it - yet.

Ok, whats the suspension mods you made to your vehicle with this turbocharger? My ideal set up as of now is my SRT Header Back, with your turbo kit(stage 1), don't know if i want to go the tire route, camber adjustments etc. Whats your ideal set up for suspension along with your turbocharger to make this car feel like the ultimate go-cart?

That's good to hear that you don't think your kit's power is too much for the stock suspension. I opted to just change out the stock rubber for a high performance tire and it looks like that should be sufficient.

Is this kit being made in America ?

[MattQ-WP]

I would DEFINITELY upgrade the stock brakes before adding power
