From what I've read and heard.

Not a bad turbo, but for around a grand less, you can get something similar..

Well Pete, a VF34 costs about 1300 less than an AVO400, and we all know how good they are...so low price doesnt mean shit

your right, a 34 does seem to be one of the best value for money turbos out there atm.

Has anyone had any first hand experiance with any HKS or BLITZ turbos?

paticularly the GT-RS, the 2835 and the BLITZ KA-440??

They are all pretty pricey (3500-4500 kit price) but are suppose to be worth it.

Stace,

what turbs are you running now??? If it is still the VF35, the AVO400 will spool considerably slower. As the guys have rightly said, they are Garret GT28XX based turbos. They wont have the hard hit of the VF's but will take over mid range to top end. Slightly higher flow than a VF22 I think..
