I actually like the AVO, everything is completely stealthy, a nce touch of AVO in the TB is good! Besides, once the hood is open, do three letters in the TB really matter?

BUT, since I know we all have our personal likes/dislikes, I respect your point of view and hope you can turn it around for no letters

i see the oem air box is used, will there be another option not utilizing the air box.its just ugly. in my opinion.

AVOturboworld · 09-20-2012, 03:47 PM

There will be an option for an AVO high-flow filter/airbox, and of course customers that already have replaced the airbox with something else can use that as well. As long as it bolts up at the stock airbox point, it'll be fine. It goes without saying that it will need to be re-tuned for that though.

The coupler has the logo only on one side, so yes it could be rotated around for the stealth look.

I never understood the concept of paying $5-6,000 to hide something. That's like getting boobs for your woman and telling her she has to wear turtleneck sweaters from now on.

wow thats a fast responce, thank you good sir.

Can we get a shot down looking at the turbo, its amazing how this looks like an OEM kit. Getting almost 300whp with stock components, very nice!

I dont think its so much about hiding it as it is not flaunting it. Its still visible, and im sure people can use colored piping if thats their thing. Its like going out and buying a suit, you don't have to put reflective tape, and led's on it for people to notice it. Sometimes understated can be a good thing!

This is one of the nicest aftermarket turbo kits I have seen.

subatoy · 09-20-2012, 07:53 PM

If I'm correct you can use ANY exhaust system and ANY intake,
It's completely stealthy for those living in the states with crazy laws.
If you guys keep the price at the estimated cost this will be the best turbo kit out there PERIOD.

I believe this is the best location for the turbo.
I feel like you guys are the only ones that get it.

That's because you don't live in a nanny state. It's not so much about hiding it from other people, it's about hiding it from the police.

Tansey86 · 09-20-2012, 08:02 PM

If you like being stealthy then this is the kit for you, I personally like having a big turbo in my engine bay that blows people away when they open the hood. I also like people being able to see my front mount.
