AVO kit is good but abit more expensive.
The AVo uses a T28 (have a few different ones depending on kit).
Luke's got the Greddy and i have to say i was quite impressed with the kit and certainly value for money.

my y4 made 117kw atw on a very safe tune but with a custom kit with room for improvement... but i didnt wanna spend anymore money lol
I can make 131Kw at 11-12psi right now with only 2" exhaust..Quote:

There's a reason why the GReddy kits sucks at higher psi.. It’s the crap actuator as WEQ found out a long time ago when trying to up the boost..
New GCG 8 pound actuator installed now and they made a massive difference.. and an Elec boost controller will help even more
So just add $150 bucks on top of the kit or buy a very good elec boost controller..
avo is something like double the price. im only looking for 8psi so i think the greddy would be ideal for what i am after..
Its also a small turbo, it maxes out too early.
But for small boost its perfect. You will get virtually no lag also

avo kit is quality though... it uses garret turbo charger and u can even choose to have a black anodized intercooler...
super stealth
i like the sounds of that... not the price though hahah. i sent them an email bout their kit and how much and wat it entales etc etc. il post up what they say when i get itQuote:

But the best gains would be to tune it to your engine. There's not too much difference between the greddy and avo turbo kit. There will be a huge difference in tune though.
definently having troubles searching for a tuner. might end up having to take it somewhere else for that (sydney) if i dont find anyone worthy...Quote:

No tune needed to begin with at stock boost as the GReddy kit e-manage comes pre-tuned for your motor with safe base line maps :thumbsup:Quote:

Thats what i mean. It's pre-tuned so it's a universal map for most fuel types. Not every engine will be in the same condition, some may have more compression than others and so forth. That's why if your engine is in better condition, why not make full use of the turbo kit? It will handle a more agressive tune safely than an engine that has been used and abused.Quote:
