shtbxr22 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I contacted AVO about this. they said Rallitek has installed one on an 06 2.5i with extensive exhaust modification, and a stand-alone ECU rather than the piggyback offered with the kit. so it's possible if you got some cake, but by the time it's all said and done, the price differential is probably enough to have gotten a GT, and have more power, and a warranty. not worth it for us. just live with the good looking, gas sipping cars we have.

THE RZA Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 like i said, if someone hands me 6-7000 dollars for no reason at all, i would do it, other than that, i'd rather just save some money up and upgrade to a LGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawlwawl06 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Yeah, just stick with suspension mods and stuff that can be easily transfered over to an LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I wonder if a dedicated guy or gal were to go thru all 19 pages of this thread and count how many times each senario has played out what would the numbers be 1. The guy thats gonna buy it 2. The guy that wanted to buy it but doesnt want to take a home equity loan 3. the guy that hates it 4. the guy that jumps back and forth if he wants it or not 5. the guys that tell the guys that want it to get an LGT 6. The guys that think it is cool and all but would never put it on their car Hmmmmmm:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE-OTTO Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 But no "guy that's actually bought it" scenario In a poll im sure that would dominate the responses but man if we were impreza guys i saw a used AVO kit for $1500 with a header im sure those N/A guys have been trying all sorts of things out and failing this kits was off a Impreza 2.5i that the tranny broke wild guess it was due to the increase in power and stock clutch he said selling to buy new clutch PP TOB LWFW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RZA Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 the first page says this kit is for the impreza just you either need to swap hoods or go front mount for it to fit, 1500? hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongemonster Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I figure for the guy who is off warranty and really attached to his car this is a great idea. Another scenario is a Canadian with an imported car. Considering I saved about 15 grand importing the easy upgrade to an XT just isn't so easy. This is the next best thing.

But im sure it has more to do with engine bay fitment since the impreza and legacy arent on the common frame until 08-09 im sure you could easily make it work BUT you would need engine management of some sort.

GEE-OTTO Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 To the AVO guy not to jump the gun or anything but with the new exhaust manifold setup on the turbo models ( turbo is actually under the car and mated directly to the manifold) do you think it will be easier to make a turbo kite for the 2010 2.5i ?? eliminates the UP and DP and everything is in one place. im sure a FMIC would be super easy but im sure the new ECU will be a beeotch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RZA Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Well I would also need to swap out the 4 speed auto and put a new exhaust as well as a dozen other things, either way that's still going to cost atleast 5,000. As much as id like to go turbo in my car I don't see it as a possibility unless prices on parts go way down, I'll just keep an eye out for a GT, when I bought my 09 2.5I the one dealership had an 06 GT with 36k on it for 16 grand, I passed because the guy there was a complete ass. I got my 2.5I for a good price and I'm happy with just doing suspension mods to it, id like to swap the 4 speed auto out for a 5MT though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE RZA Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I got '09 with 10k on it for 16 grand, I'm guessing it was either a loaner car or a floor model or what not. But none the less I got a $24,000 car for 8 grand less so it was what it was you know, my old 98 LGT was a manual and I liked it. I also wasn't too crazy about SWP at first but not gonna lie the color has grown on me now that I have it. Si drive is sport mode right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was paranoid that the guy driving it down (it wasn't flatbedded) was gonna floor it and screw stuff up, but it was an old guy so I was ok with that. No problems so far lol.

I always liked how the SWP looked, but a major problem I'm having is that ... I drive fast on the highway, I mean I think pretty much everyone drives this fast, but I'm always in the 80s, and that's apparently fast enough to get these streaks of dust and stuff on my back bumper. Which I am now having a hard time washing it all away. That's the only time i wish I had gotten it in obsidian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekay Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Welp, like I'd planned, the AVO turbo kit for my car is scheduled to go in this weekend. If all goes well, I'll post pictures and such some time on Monday or Tuesday. Unfortunately, my boost and oil pressure gauges for my a-pillar won't be here until later this month (Some backorder issue =( ) but I'm sure I can manage without them for now. Wish me luck!

frostbite3360 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Not hating on your kits and yes I have parts from Rallitek they get great reviews and are recommended by ALL. And when using the word exploited that doesnt mean in a negative way it means diving into the Legacy 2.5i market to profit from it. But be honest what is the demand for these kits Impreza to Legacy? And if it is so high why has it been almost two years since the first post claiming the kits would be ready? I hope you make the kits and I hope they sell well for you, you would be the only people i would trust to get a kit from to fit my car that. While i wont be buying the kits im sure it will make some people very happy not to mention as stated earlier super sleeper sick no scoop no badges just a SC under the hood Why you hating GEE-OTTO? Rallitek has to wait for AVO to make the turbo setup theyre not making it themselves. Don't scare off the few people who actually want to make mods for our vehicles. There IS a market out there for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway seet deal on the kits ill envy you none the less The current kit is a TMIC and fits 2004 and older models. Impreza and Legacy. (00-04 Leg needs a hood scoop.
