AVO turbo kit for BRZ - initial build thread - Page 139 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Very excited about this! What temperatures have you tested this kit on? I live in a country where the temp reaches 135F easily. Would that effect this kit?

Will ceramic coating be standard or at an additional cost? This looks to be a well thought out and/or well-designed kit. I'm dying right now...

At present, only up to about 100-105F. But we've built turbo kits for Toyota Landcruisers in Dubai (and the rest of the region) for decades now, and know what you are talking about.

Optional, though we are looking at making it standard. But that would drive up the price of the base kit.

AVO- is the oil reservoir assembly only attached at the turbo?

My BRZ will be the first AT in the US with the AVO turbo (should be here January) .

I'll leave the technical details to Paul and @Drift-Office :-D

These updates look awesome! Really like the look of that reservoir.

OjiGeorge · 12-20-2012, 03:36 AM

Nice, very nice.

I wonder if we can get the high temp silver coating?

MSTiFK8R · 12-20-2012, 06:31 AM

super!

so the ceramic coating TOTALLY reduces necessity to use extra heat wrapping?

what about crossing cold rainy puddles when you're WOT?!

I know the undertray will stop lots of water but still... I dontwanna crack that beaty

Wait a second, the kit isn't being released for ATs? ETA on it?

This is awesome AVO. you guys are doing a great job.
Do you guys have any retailers in the US? or does the kit have to be purchased through you guys directly?

The flexible tubing is one of the best parts of this kit. Hard piping is a real pita to work with and around. If you want hard piping for 5 psi (negligible gains), do it yourself and spare the rest of us

ETA is undecided for the AT release simply because we haven't finished the testing. At this time all that is holding us up is the base map for A/T models, other than that, it does not look like there needs to be any changes to the hardware.

What has been holding us up was access to a production kit - which should be solved over the next couple weeks - and access to an automatic model, which has been sorted out via @brzranger and @Drift-Office
