It could also be a hose that comes into the back side of the engine. I didn't help put the clamp on so my memory on it is fuzzy. @ptuning could chime in and inform us.

Ok I thought it was something I missed. I changed the hoses on top to silicone hoses.

For some reason, the vacuum lines under the AC compressor were clamped on mine already. I checked when I was messing around with the stock intake.

Sorry about the delay. I've put together the above video to demonstrate the new exhaust combination. The cabin noise has been greatly reduced, which is the most important change for me. I need to get some videos from outside the car while it's moving, but I have yet to get around to that. Maybe next autocross season.

xpost from the AVO Owners' Topic

My car will be going to PTuning next week to have the MAF relocated. They're going to create custom piping to make a 3" intake pipe to the turbo, install a 100% VTA BOV, and move the MAF just before the throttle body. Also changing the tune to a primarly speed-density based one in the process. I'll post results when I get the car back by the end of next week.

All of this is because racecar... More PSSSSSHHH!! Less BOOOOM!!

I had to reschedule the work. I dropped off the car beginning of this week and they just got the painted piping back this morning. I'll post an update when the car is finished. Thanks for the interest!

Brief update:

The exhaust leak came back with a vengeance. I had PTuning remove the headers to have them decked and they were so warped that the machine shop didn't want to do it. In order to level the flanges they would end up too thin.

Working to see about warranty at the moment.

On a happier note, the MAF relocation and redone intake pipes came out fantastic! Observe the pictures below:

Yes. That is a Turbosmart 100% venting BOV. Pssssshhhchachachacha...

Here's the pictures of the header that were sent to AVO for the warranty claim.

DAT GAP!

nataku · 02-06-2014, 10:06 PM

Replacement part will be on its way from factory ASAP. It appears there is a communications breakup in the supply line... Thanks to @Pure Automotive and @AVOturboworld for the customer service. Don't know who the middle man is but... grumble grumble.

I love the modifications you made to the AVO kit.

nataku · 02-20-2014, 12:04 PM

Got the car back and it's running great so far. Gonna keep my eye on the header leak. I believe it was recommended to re-torque the bolts every once in a while until they stop shifting and settle in.

The new BOV noise and intake hiss is fantastic. Unfortunately my exhaust is so loud that I can't seem to get a good recording of it. I'm working on finding a way to put together sound clips, might need to mount the gopro on my hood or something lol.

If you can wait just a couple weeks I'll be producing another autocross video. When I get the chance I can post an unlinked copy of the video (out of town atm and also the video sucks so I don't want it on my channel haha).

I'll try to get my hands on a tow hook mount for autocross. Then we might hear turbo sounds over the exhaust for once.
