Another graph

I like this one as it really shows the strengths of the larger intercooler. I'm holding about 17 PSI of boost for 6 seconds and during that time the IAT's are a steady 2 ℉ above ambient. When I let off IAT's only go up to about 4 ℉ above ambient. You guys on this latest group buy are going to love it.

Great info Silhouette. The Helix FMIC is a great addition to these cars.

Still far for specific eta as we just ended the group buy but we are usually looking at 8-10 weeks. Final payment isn't due until the intercoolers are ready to ship.

Thanks for the info Ralph... I know you mentioned the 8-10 weeks time frame previously, but wasn't sure if that was from the start of the GB or end.

I am waiting.... attempting to be patient

Just an "out-loud" observation here but why are Cooper FMICs twice as expensive as ones for Subbies or Evo's?

Less demand, r&d = more expensive to cover the same return.

Supply and Demand.

But if you look at the price for German Car mods, they are generally more expensive than Japanese car. My friend 335i FMIC is around the same price as the MSRP for MINI FMIC.

Hi Alex,

Can you give us an update on the status of the latest GB? When can we expect to take delivery?

Intercoolers are looking to be coming in towards the end of our 10 week estimate. Get excited they are almost ready to go out

I'm sorry if the answer is posted elsewhere but has anybody seen or heard whether the Helix will fit behind the 2011 JCW bodykit front bumper with the brake duct vents?
