Im currently looking at the AVO kit running a Garret GT2560R Ball Bearing.

[OMG.JAI xD]

250-300whp at 8-10psi.


Since you havent changed your internals.

Dont recommend running on stock ecu though.

[procrx88]

hey which is the most decent ecu and value 4 money.

10PSI with a good tune, if you want to run higher your gonna need to rebuild the bottom end.

powerwise about 150-180kw atw with an avo kit (can't run that much power without a proper ECU)

[procrx88]

hey but the avo kit comes with a piggy back ecu, that count and if i do change my eco hw much power and do i still need the piggy back..

[Limbo]

the piggyback ECU is not that crash hot.
Radiator > oil cooler as water cooling is faster than the oil cooling.

BUt the other stuff bludger said is true, i'd get cams later. Also spoon cams are designed to be high revving N/A cams if i rem rightly. Not something recommended on a FI car.

If you can afford those items you should opt for no ECU from an AVO kit and get Hondata or PFC. The AVO kit is great for beginners but it has its limitations and is prob not the best kit out there

[EGB18CT]

turbo too small so you will be limited to about 140-150 kw to the wheels as per what ievaq8 had problems with back pressure, seems your setup is more suited to a na tune rather than going the boost path.

[Limbo]

u can still make 180kw atw with the GT28R, i've seen it on 2-3 tunes.
But if u can afford it get a GT2860RS, it will be a much nicer powerhouse

- Toda Retainers

This product does not exist.

-stock ecu )

Output without turbo = 95~100kw @ wheels

Add the turbo kit with std ECU =

haha sooooo true and toda use supertech retainers dont they?

[TODA AU]

toda use supertech retainers dont they?

The OP said he had TODA retainers in his engine,
I just pointed out that there is no such thing.
I didn't elaborate beyond that.

Given that there is no available TODA product,
When the application required the use of such retainers, then the product from another manufacturer would obviously be used.
To make a blanket statement limiting that to one manufacturer would be incorrect.
