AVO turbo kit for BRZ - initial build thread - Page 151 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Great video. Thank you for posting!

As much as I'd love to have everybody that purchases this kit to get a dyno tune, the truth is that this country is just too large. While it's probably fairly easy to find a tuner for a Mustang, it's far harder to find a BRZ/FR-S Ecutek tuner in most areas of the States with a dyno. That is one of the main reasons we provide a basemap for all of our turbo kits for n/a. I think over half the customers that have purchased our turbo kits over the years was more than a 10+ hour drive from a tuner.

When will they start shipping out these kits?

I rode with Paul during that video and let me say that turbo is sweet and no lack for torque

The first wave of kits should be shipping out from some time next week. Can't pinpoint the exact date because I'm a the mercy of the shipper and/or customs towards that. Following waves of shipments as we get them done - there's a lot of people in line at the moment!

Can't wait to see them installed and reviewed!

Very very soon...

Tansey86 · 01-23-2013, 02:09 AM

Any news on the intake system yet? Excited to see it, even if just a prototype.

I think it's awesome. You guys clearly have done insane amounts of testing... Seems like the 5 psi base tune would make this sort of an "oe" feeling car, able to run with room for different altitudes temp etc. (which of course you have stated XD) I'm in a place that's a good example. I would probably be driving to maybe Vegas? for a good tuner. I haven't heard a lot of positive things about the guys within a few hours of me. There's a fantastic tuner in Tucson, but he pretty much sticks with AEM and does mostly 4G63 stuff. So the base tune would probably be a DD (and we'll see when the kits ship,) for most buyers for a while. Love it!!!

Sorry this may have been asked- but to be fair there's 97 pages of thread to sort through... Have you guys considered an E85 base tune? Maybe as like a 200$ option? Or are you just leaving that up to any further tuning

I don't see any mention of changing Spark Plugs.

Is the recommendation to run the stock plugs?

nataku · 01-23-2013, 05:36 PM

I tried searching around for a bit but couldn't find it. Was there an announcement about why the turbo now costs $4400 instead of $3800? Is it just because ceramic is a requirement now?

AVOturboworld · 01-23-2013, 06:00 PM

I haven't had time to announce that - it's mainly due to nearly 100% of orders being with ceramic coating. Feel free to send me a pm about pricing, though. We'll have more information soon. All orders till this date are at the initial pricing.

Tansey86 · 01-23-2013, 06:03 PM

Directly from the website:

" MSRP on the kit will be $4400.00, and will include the EcuTek base tune. An EcuTek License and OBD-II cable are optional. Ceramic coating on the Exhaust Manifold, Turbocharger, and Turbocharger discharge pipe are now standard. "
