AVO turbo kit for BRZ - initial build thread - Page 199 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

That's an interesting question - I assume you are referring to the two pipes in the engine bay? The exhaust underneath the engine is, well, impossible to see, but those two pipes are visible. I powdercoated them orange on my shop car (and display engine).

It's probably something I can special order from the factory, let me look into it.

Do you mean the headers or the IC and charge pipes?

Anyone else having issues with blown gaskets, My stage one kit has been fitted about two months & first time on track the gaskets before & after the turbo have gone.

Do you know if you re-used the original gaskets or had new ones? There's a known history of the OEM gaskets being crap with this kit, lots of info on that thread.

Steve from what I know all new Forester gaskets were used, didn't expect them to fail at the first test & on a wet track.

Pictures of the new 3-inch exhaust system - a finished version was fitted for fitment check.

Is Stage 3 still on stock engine internals? If so, would it be recommended to look for forged replacements?

Over a few months reading through several FI threads thrown/bent rods appear common place when going north of 300bhp.

Besides my concern this kit looks awesome.

Could you show me a failure under 400 rwhp that wasn't caused by a bad tune?

Will a catless version be available?
