WOW. It looks really good. Some people might think it's factory.

I cant wait! This is exactly what I wanted out of a turbo kit for this car. Good HP and TQ gains while still maintaining reliability and not thrashing on the motor! This is my daily driver! I cant wait to see the progress!

With all this turbo talk, I wonder who's going to be the first customer on the forums with a grenade'd turbo. I've done some snooping around on other subaru rs forums and that shit is just scary. Though I am very confident in AVO and their development.

Sounds like you know something we don't... like the HP and tq figures...

I think he's referring to this earlier post by the seller:

"We won't be going for ultimate horsepower, either. While we could, it's not in our planning for this kit. What we want to see, and what we aim for with the main kit, is similar to our other kits - boost from 1500rpm with a very strong mid-range. With reliability.

Although I'm sure the dyno's will be posted when they're done.

Where do you see a black FMIC?

we've had the same requests in Japan, Australia, and Singapore as well as our Californian customers. Police inspections, CARB/EPA are getting out of hand in all areas.

All intake and intercooler piping will be made of wire-reinforced Silicone, and will only be available in Black. There will be a choice between the standard air box, or an aftermarket air box. The FMIC will be available in Silver or Black.

BOV will be an optional part, with an AVO 100% recirculate (or 50/50) available, as well as other aftermarket or even OEM. The flange for the BOV will be the same as the EVO 7/8/9, for customers that want a full "OEM" look to it.

Wow, very excited to see how this develops. Would be great if there was an official CARB approved version. But that's, once again, massive investment.

@ Paul Hansen - when did you move to Seattle? Or are you commuting between Japan and Seattle? I'm friends with Max D. and always loved the occasional pic he'd send me from some of the cool projects you were working on.

Has the reverse intake manifold made packaging any easier for this project?

Going to be able to keep the skid plate? Be nice to hide as much as possible from the snooping mirror on a roller.

It will be nice to keep the skid plate for protection.

AVOturboworld · 08-04-2012, 01:56 PM

Currently, the turbo sits about 2 inches above the undertray/skidplate. Should be able to keep it, will see at the final.
