It's not because it's not fast, it's because you don't have to wring it out above 5000rpm to make power anymore.

If you've driven a big V6 or a V8, you know how they are great at cruising along because of the torque available at low to mid-range rpm's. I've been driving on this turbo for nearly 4000 miles now, and that's what I always enjoy the most about it every time I get in the car. Yesterday I actually forced myself to drive around in a lower gear than normal just to get a feel for it again.

Its funny you say that...because even though this car is 10x slower than my old 460whp STi, I find myself driving faster in it. I feel its exactly what you described. This car you have to get into it to feel like your moving. All it took was a feather of pedal pressure in my STi to get moving. I have no doubt that if I end up turbocharging/supercharging this car, i'll actually be going slower than I am now

Glad to see i'm not crazy

Or you can invest in good paint protection like me and get both. 6000 fun miles and not a single swirl mark :-)

Those are the kinds of posts that sell a turbo kit.

The stock brake pads are holding up fine, but I've been on DBA's newest rotors from before the turbo kit went on. They have helped a bunch, though, I don't get that quick fade from high speed braking that I had before (in even n/a form).

What is the inlet/outlet diameter of the BOV that you offer?

Not sure what film you got. I have XPEL Ultimate and don't have any rock chips or scratches.

The standard unit with the kit is an OEM style plastic Bosch by-pass valve which is usually a 1" inlet and outlet. Their are many plug-n-play replacement options such as

The one I saw today is probably a bit over the top and pricey but where I live, what it does would help me out loads if there are police near by!!!

Does anybody knows if a Tial BOV will be an easy or a direct fit with the Avo Turbo Kit ?

Senna · 12-13-2012, 10:04 PM

I'm ready to buy a stage 2 as soon as its released., if it can hit 300whp with a full cat-less resonated exhaust and etc..

Says you - wait till I get behind the wheel! Someone's gotta give rides to the potential customers right? Gotta show em it's bulletproof!

This might sound a bit ricer-ish.. but any possibility of say an OVAL 'badge' maybe front & back to replace the stock Scion/Toyota/Subaru badge locations for people who have one of your systems fitted into their cars?

One badge would be fine - rearward facing as the back badges always seem to get heaps of soot/dirt stuck behind them from the exhaust.

Maybe an oval design similar to the Subaru badge - ie black background, with just a silver "AVO" logo in your font, but with the clear plastic/lacquer over it.
Or using your current logo, but everything in silver(minus the 'turboworld') with the AVO text and turbo picture.

UGR do a similar thing on their kits.. OEM badge

UGR badge

I think it would be a nice subtle look for any AVO'ed 86/FR-S/BRZ car.
If cost is a factor, maybe make it an 'accessory', I would definitely buy one.
