AVO Turbo Kit Install

There is a good 20kw still to be had at the same boost level but the 5PSI actuator isn't holding boost at higher RPM's on high boost and there is still some room for it to be leaned out - having said that, its probably a decent amount of torque already for the stock rods to handle.

The car is VERY quick on the street with all the torque where you need it. Really going to miss not driving this one!


After the first high boost run, the dyno owner said he thought that car was loosing traction so decided its best he sit on the back - it was a proud moment

Erm maybe a stupid question, are those figures achieved on pump fuel?

Regardless tho, epic stuff. I really want to go in this car.

Low boost on pump, high boost on pump+octane booster.

Thanks Give us a shout if/when you in the Cape and I'm sure the owner would be happy to take you for a spin.

Looks really good.
Incidentally those low boost figures are pretty similar to what Rob Greene is advertising for his Vortech kit (power made quite differently of course).
Of course - that high boost, 350+Nm...

@Dammod - btw. Just noticed from the pic that it looks like stock wheels... Is he on stock tyres too?
Must be wheel spinning really easily if so.

Yep, stock tires which he will be sorting out without a doubt now I'm sure

I'll be uploading some vids when I get a chance to give you an idea.

Yes Shaun...I'm extremely pleased with the car and with the service and professionalism of Phoenix Performance. I have done them an injustice by not posting a review yet. Enjoying my lil beast to take time out to do so....will get to it soon enough. Thank you Damien and Marco !

This car is something else.....

I'm sure I am not the only one keen to see your thoughts once you've had some time in the seat!!

Not sure if the you or the Phoenix guys will be happy to give indications of prices should others be interested in similar setups...?


I already have a FF kit, so assuming I do take the plunge and go FI I can only imagine the size of my grin when combining this with ethanol!

Ethanol would compliment the turbo kit very well.

Pricing all depends on power goals, but mrauto's setup which includes everything you need, including BOV, oil catch can, panel filter etc would set you back around R80k including installation and tune, give or take depending on the exchange rate.
