Installed Avo World turbo kit on my Jimny: Thoughts after first 1000 km

The car is now much more eager to drive and accelerates with decent momentum. Feels peppy to drive from the earlier lethargic feeling.

Have personally driven the car now over 1000km after installing the Avo World turbo kit, so feel confident to add my thoughts on how it feels like. The car has now covered almost 3-4 North to South trips and ODO stands at >45,000 which is a testament to the reliability of the build. There were no issues at all with the engine/turbo.

Pros:

• The car is now much more eager to drive and accelerates with decent momentum. Feels peppy to drive from the earlier lethargic feeling.
  FE has improved and he consistently gets 11+ while mine stays at 9.3-9.9.
• The main thing is it makes the car much less susceptible to stuttering in gear, basically you can change gets lesser and it will always cleanly pick up.
• The above was experienced extensively in the city, highway and mountain roads and is a huge benefit in all situations since you don't have to change gears often.

Cons:

• I feel that the car is now eating up front pads at a much higher rate.
• There is some vagueness in very low rpm range (<2000).
• I'm not too happy with the air filter position right in front, snorkel or another position is highly recommend if you want to go water wading.
• I don't have experience with this in AT gearbox so don't know how it feels.

If your main plan is highway driving it will benefit in making overtaking easy and cruising much more effortless feeling. When I compare my car to his at highway speeds his feels bit more relaxed while driving while I always have a feeling that I'm wringing the neck of my engine. I will definitely recommend it if you do travel a lot.
