AVO Turbokit - the Install

That was 2nd gear going up a *sharp* incline, then 3rd and 4th to a alleged triple digit speed. I've had it in stock form enough to know I'd barely hit 55, maybe 60mph at that same point.

 

This kit isn't going to make a standard 2.5-liter N/A into a firebreathing, 4 second 0-60 beast. If I really hammer it, it's a bit faster than a stock Legacy GT turbo but with more torque at lower rpm's. So think of it more like you've transplanted a big V6 in with some actual torque.

It's a 100% recirculate BOV that is 50/50 via a removable plate. So leave the plate on and it'll be much quieter. Or if you are going to keep it running at 5psi, you don't need the BOV at all. 5psi isn't enough to fuss the turbocharger, and that's why the BOV is optional.

 

And yeah, that was, um, a "potential" speed. <cough>4th gear<cough>

 

I dunno if you call it a problem, but every time I shift into 5th and give it some gas, I keep trying to shift up a gear to 4th (because it feels like I'm in 3rd...).

Demo huh? Where are you guys in relation to say from Seattle-Tacoma International airport? I'll be in town for work on Tuesday. Would be interesting if I could stop by during my lunch break.

 

I'm about 30 minutes North of Seatac, but if you want, I can head down there for lunch and do some demo drives/let you have a drive if you'd like!

Oooh, DJ Doc and I can meet you together :)

 

Ah, breaker one-nine, this here's N.Sane and the Doc.

You gotta copy on me, AVO Turbo, c'mon?

Ah, yeah, 10-4, AVO Turbo, fer shure, fer shure. By golly, it's clean clear to Squamish, c'mon.

Yeah, that's a big 10-4 there, AVO Turbo, yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy. Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy...

 

With sincere apologies to C.W. McCall...

That doesn't sound too bad at all. I was just using Sea-Tac as a reference point. I'll be at Olive and 7th ave at what seems like downtown Seattle. Google maps says 22 minutes north of Sea-Tac.

 

I might have to see if I want anything else from you guys. Might as well skip on shipping, right? Southwest gives me 2 free bags!

Let me know if there's anything you need! I've got some sales going on right now.

 

Olive and 7th is downtown, only about 15 minutes from me - well, when traffic isn't too bad. I can meet you down there I'm sure.

Paul,

 

Count me in! I am interested in hearing more/learning more about this upgrade. Regretting I didn't get the GT when I had the chance, but this would be perfect (enough for me!).

 

I am from Seattle, but living in SoCal (close to the Mojave desert) area right now. I'll be back up in Seattle over the Christmas Holidays so maybe we can meet up sometime? Thanks for all your hard work - I've read the whole thread and super excited for this!
