If memory serves me right, when the AVO car was at Stage 1 (5ish PSI) with an AVO catback, it went from 230 ish to 250 ish after the aforementioned combo was changed out. All this without changing the tune either.

My boost curve with AVO kit and MBC, its very nice, but waiting to make it better with an EBC.

I guess with the 6AT it'll be cheaper for stage 2

Why?

Mr.Zoolittle · 06-01-2013, 11:10 PM

maybe because he wont need to buy a clutch and have it installed?

Question to the lucky ones, which installed the kit

I am going to join you this week )

Where to find the base map? AFAIK it is supposed to be with the kit, but is this a CD, a flash card, or did you receive it from AVO via e-mail?

I'd be interested to know if there is a comparable (or slightly higher power) dual ball bearing turbo that will bolt up to the Avo kit. Or what turbos in general you could upgrade to down the line

They are currently testing newer turbos for compatibility and will update once complete. You are not the only one wanting to see just how far we can go.

My thoughts exactly.

Nice! Had I known other turbo options would be in the works, I may have waited on the initial purchase, but the kit is awesome as-is.

That's true and I agree, but stop for a moment and think about it. There will ALWAYS be better things coming out for the car. If we waited, we might as well be always waiting for the next big thing. I cringed a bit when I read it too, but stepped back to think about it, and I got exactly what I wanted.

At least me personally, don't plan on opening this block and building it, so around 300 whp was going to be my ceiling regardless of turbo. Better turbo would be a bonus sure, but I stand behind my purchase as it fills my needs
