AVO Turbo Kits

[xenonkuraz]

I've done a search with every friggen term I could think of for this topic. I know there were threads comparing AVO to Greddy, but I just can't seem to find it! If anyone can, please post here. Otherwise:

What are your opinions on this kit? Has anyone here used it before? I know Dean (DLO01) has. I might bother him about it :P

Please, no talk about custom kits! I'd like to know how the AVO kits are.

Thanks.

stage one kit with the 5th injector, i wouldn't recommend..

atleast stage two.. (upgraded 4 injectors, standalone ecu)

they seem fairly reliable.. they don't make as much power as custom kits (due to the tune).. and they're EPA approved

If you want a good affordable off the shelf kit with everything you need. Simple bolt on fit, no messing around, simplicity, good power gains. Then the Avo kit is a good kit. Its not 'the best kit' like some you can get from the states, but $ wise they are good by the time you would get one of those Us kits over. Plus you have the support of Avo here in Aust.

I had an Avo Stage II kit on my old Crx Delsol and it was a good power upgrade. If you are happy with the output these kits put out and no more, they are good. I have not experienced the Greddy kit.

When you nut it all down though, things do add up. Clutch, exhaust, dyno costs.

They are a good kit, full stop.

I am curious to know why you are not interested in a 'custom' setup?

I'm not very knowledgeable in this area, and don't want to do something wrong and mess up the whole thing.

So why wouldnt you research and then find a trustworthy builder and get them to build a setup for you? That way you get exactly what you are after for your requirements.

I'm not sure anyone would bother helping me. But I suppose I'll look into it. The AVO kits just sparked my interest into FI...

thanks for helping

There are some good builders out there that you can approch with a goal (both in terms of what you want to achieve from your car and the money that you want to spend) that can supply and/or fit a setup to suit you.

Where would I start looking? I'm from Melbourne btw...the race scene down here compared to Sydney stinks.

I am in Melbourne. It doesnt stink, you just need to know where to look (but like in all cities there are some really bad builders out there).

First thing I would do is start searching the net about the various components that you need for a setup - what they do etc. Also, remember to shop around for opinions (and take most with a grain of salt) as lots of people dont have experience or just dont know what they are talking about.

From there, have a chat with multiple local builders asking them what they would do for the money/goals you have. Then try to combine all of that information and make a decision - dont jump in to anything quickly (especially when people say I can put this 'custom' kit on your car really cheap but only this week). Shop around, learn alot and then make a decision right the first time.

Could you please name some places that I could speak to? I'm not being lazy, I just honestly don't know how to source the tuners out there. I've read a lot of the nitty-gritty's of forced induction, but still I thought I would not be capable of doing a custom setup myself, naive to the fact that someone out there could help me. Until now!
