Hey all

I have recently put a stage 3 AVO turbo kit on a 1990 NA ....The result has been fantastic but not as great as I expected I have ended up with around 114KW at the RW ....It is running only 8.5 PSI of boost. The clutch has been upgraded to a heavy duty custom race style clutch so it is fine...

I am wanting to get a second opinion on the tune that has been done on it and the boost it is running
in the hope that the numbers will improve with a bit of tuning from someone who knows there stuff....

Does anyone have any suggestions in brisbane as to who to take it to..

Any advise greatly appreciated

They have tuned a fair few B6 and BP turbo engines.

48 SMallwood Street Brisbane
07 3341 11 11

THough I'd think teh power you are curerntly making is fair for teh boost you are running, so only expect to make more power if you're planning more boost.

What exhaust/intercooler/cat converter are you usng????

The stage 3 is the wildest of their kits, I'd have thought you'd get more power surely?

2.5 " stainless mandrel bend exhaust and high flow cat

intercooler is the AVO stage 3 one whatever that may be

320 hp garret ball bearing turbo
500 cc injectors
400 cc fuel pump

100 octane fuel

medium weight flywheel to suit turbo

that is my thoughts too...I am wondering whether it has been tuned a little conservatively ....This is the main reason I want a second opinion on it all ...hopefully from someone who knows MX's

Who did the tuning? Ring AVO direct and ask them to steer you in the direction of one of their preferred installers perhaps. Also ask them what sort of ballpark figure powerwise you should be getting.

I would have thought 150ish kw to be more like it?

thumbs up to mazfix
tell them ryan sent you and they should look after you?

what engine managment system are you running?
as it will depend on where you have to take it
ie not sure wether archie does link etc

Andrew is getting 157kw at the rw with a stage 2. You're quoting stage 1 figures but I guess you are running low boost.

Speak to the guys at AVO. They prep and sell these things.

tis running a link ecu ....I will give mazfix a call tomorrow and se what they say.....

i was told that the link ecu that comes witht he kit is pretty average
