Hi,

Is anyone here running one of the AVO 400 series, I am looking at the 400S for my RS, the only thing that puts me off is the high price....over $2K.

A these good bang for your buck, or would a VF34 or the GTPS01 be better..

cheers

maybe drop this question in mechanical so it gets more attention.

I would go with the AVO myself, I have heard good things abot it. But drop a search on rexnet as its pretty common over there.

how much boost can you run safely?

How much performance do you want? (qtr times....?)

How much throttle response do you want?

what turbo are you currently running and what do you like and dislike about it?

yeah sorta elaborating on what pete sed, you gotta sit down and think of what you want outa your car first, do you want High HP? or just something with a little bit more pep for street driving in that case go a vf or something similar. Just work out how much power u wanna make outta ur car.

if HP is the case for you, im sure some guys can shed some light on wether this turbo is the way to go.

There is a 2nd hand one on Rexnet for 1200 smackers..

I have a V2 STI motor so say 18psi...

I would like to get about 200kw at the wheels, my injectors may stop this, I have 440cc STI injectors..

Running a FMIC and a VF29 also, turbo is good down low but lacks mid and topend punch..

cheers

yep will need a fuel system upgrade.

200kw atw you will get, turbo will deffo give better mid and topend, maybe a bit soft down low when you snap the throttle open but keep it on boost/part throttle often and It shouldnt be too bad.*

I think where the bigger turbo's work better than the VF's is that they can make more power with less boost which is better for the longlivity of various engine and turbo components, the trade off is softer throttle response?

*disclaimer, I have never driven a 400s fitted car or spoke to anyone "directly" that has..This is all what I have sumised from various info sources.

I've decided to go for the GTPS01, got a good deal from Abdus at Tenagah, I could not justify the high price of the AVO and APS turbos, I have no doubt they are probably good, but not $1300.00 better.

Will post up some results when it's all done..

Thanks for the input everyone.

Cheers

They are over-priced - VF34's got to be the best bang for your buck!

Possibly the most under-driven Evo X in the world??

Way overpriced.

Look at the FP or Deadbolt mitsu based turbos, they are cheaper and more efficient.
