Drivetrain F56S Helix Intercooler
#1
#2
I installed one on my 2016 F56S. I jumped onboard on the original group buy. Fit and finish was stellar, installation went smoothly. Nothing to cut or mod. The only slight pain is removing the aluminum crossmember. Performance was great. I had already installed an intake and AWE touring exhaust(which is in my garage hanging up) and tune. IAT's were measured with a scanguage 2, they were between 10-12 degrees lower than stock. I have since traded up to a 2019 JCW and sold the intercooler.

Yes drilling out the 2 rivets. Helix provided new rivets and optional botls with nyloc nuts. I kept with the rivets.
