The idea we will be making the money back eventually. The kit will be RHD and LHD compatible as well, as we have operations in Japan, Australia, Thailand, and America.

We've been making turbocharger kits for cars for 30+ years, and are in this for the long haul. Our lineup of kits stretch from Toyota Landcruisers to the Mazda Miata, with a lot of other models in between.

With this statement, you have earned my business. I will be purchasing this kit from you in a few years once my warranty is up. Maybe sooner if I just can't resist the urge haha.

Ive done some google snooping on you guys over at the RS forum. Seems like you guy's are the go-to's for quality, reliability, and satisfaction. Sub'd

Supply & Demand.

Supply & Demand.

I think you mean economies of scale.

That would be for the turbo, exhaust manifold, turbo outlet (to bolt up to standard exhaust), oil/water cooling system, fmic, intake pipe, and a base map (for tuning).

Wow I don't even own the car yet but you are making me want to buy it so I can buy this kit lol.

Paul. I was skimming another thread and I guess were not allowed to ask questions of each other per moderator rule. I was simply going to ask to specify what was included since we were comparing prices. Disregard.

Very interested! I would really like to see what hard parts and tuning you'll be using? I'm guessing it'll be ECUtek?

The fact you are in Australia makes this the go to option if/when I go down this path

That's definitely what he meant.


Just remember AVO is JDM. If the Yen continues to climb, the price of the turbo kit will adjust. You can't say no to Legacy low-mount placement though.

What type of turbo? Ball bearing? Twin scroll? You know you want to do it!

Garrett doesn't make small twin scroll turbos right? How about a custom stainless twin scroll turbine housing? Gives you more freedom with headers too, since you don't need to worry about much interference from 4 cylinders, just 2.

Very keen on the turbo specs ?

pricing sounds good.
