When is it coming to market?
What is the estimated price?
What components are included?
What is the estimated hp with no other mods?

I have played around and srtforums.com and you guys seem pretty popular over there. I am definetely interested in this kit so long as it comes out before the twinscrew supercharger joint venture from Webb/M7. Is it you that I read where it says your temps were lower than a stock MCS?

I would shell out a good wad of dough for one of these in the next 3-5 months.

When is it coming to market?

we are a go for sales

What is the estimated price?

Helix is estimating cost at $4800

What components are included?

Parts List!
Garrett GT28rs disco potato turbo 360hp potential
-cast exhaust manifold w / 5 year warranty
-Helix increased diameter pulley to lower S/C boost and parasitic drag and increase turbo charger boost.
-stainless steel 2.5 inch downpipe with integral 300 cell metal matrix cat.** this DP can be flanged at a full 2.5 inch or tapered to 2.25 to match the factory exhaust.
-custom silicone charge pipe
-Turbosmart eboost boost contoller/boost gauge and pod
-Turbosmart BOV
-Psi-Fi Powerpaq engine management (fuel/timing/aquamist controller) w/ street and race maps
-500 cc direct drop in injectors
-Porsche quality fastening hardware
-modified supercharger inlet tube
-all lines and fittings
-Aquamist water/alcohol injection ***Optional(lowers charge air temps approx 30 degrees F and allows 2 more psi boost on pump gas)***
-high flow exhaust system ***optional in testing, will have before and after dyno data vs stock exhaust***
-Depends diaper for the initial test drive

What is the estimated hp with no other mods?

On Helix' stingy mustang dyno we made a little over 250whp(approx 100whp improvement over stock) with no aquamist, stock one ball exhaust at 20 psi. Since then we have added some more boost, a freer flowing exhaust and the aquamist is on and working awesome. We hope to get back to the dyno this week for a power update but the car is making alot more power across the board(seat of the pants) than it was when we dyno'd previously.[/QUOTE]

This sounds like quite a sweet system. I currently have a Magnaflow exhaust and have a milltek header on the way. By next month I will also have the M7 AGS and their big bore tb.... my concern is, how compatible is this system with other aftermarket mods. I assume that all of the tubing has to take up quite a bit of room.

I noticed that you have a boost gauge/controller. Is it possible to replace the gauge with one from say autometer? I planned on getting 4 of their new Nexus gauges next month and I would like all of my gauges to be the same.

What is the cost of the optional aquamist system?

If I am gonna spend $5k I want to know all of the little details

I'm confused by the thread title. It says "Psi Fi/Helix TurboKompressor video!", however the first post is from a competitor SPI with a vid of their system during a track day.

What happened? It seems someone spilled their chocolate into my peanut-butter.

with the twincharger, you won't use the header or any intake system other than what is in the kit
