Forge or Helix Intercooler on JCW 2010
Hello,
Debating on Forge or Helix Intercooler.
Main things I am looking for is no cutting or very little modifying on my vehicle to accommodate this IC.
Forge has stock grille screen to come with it so I assume no cutting?
Thanks.
I have read forge is a Helix generic basically. Price wise they are almost equal so not an issue.

i have heard good things about the Helix intercooler. you might also check at the Alta Performance intercooler. that personally is my favorite.

Looked at doing black alta IC . Any install issues via cutting or mods to car needed for fitting?

I have the Helix. No cutting necessary, and works great. I have no experience with the Forge but I can easily recommend the Helix.

I can recommend the Helix. I have it and think it is at least as good as everything else that's out there.
