When do you guys need the deposit? Was planning on doing it yesterday, but had to use that money for my college transcripts. Can it wait a week? Thanks
So, what are the odds that we are going to have these things, in-hand, before April 22nd? I know I'm counting on having mine installed before MOTD this year. (or is that wishful thinking?!?!)
Sorry to be the LIMFAC.....called and left msg today to give my deposit. Whilst browsing the thread, noted that Paul (#4) fell out (edit to orig msg). Hope things come together for you, Paul.
Cheers,

Yes. I have the Helix FMIC on my 2009 JCW with the new JCW aero kit with the brake ducts.
Any issues with mounting position since the intercooler is held only by connections to pipes (and not like OEM intercooler that has 2 connection screws)?

Was kind of wondering the same thing... but figured I'd take care of myself if it got to be an issue.

Other posts say "no problem". A friend with one - No Problem. Good enough for me Plus I plan to change out the hot and cold charge pipes while I have everything apart to get rid of the muffler (hot side) and the "noise maker" (cold side). I opted for the hard pipes as it is said that they flex less under pressure which makes the boost more responsive. Don't know if it really makes a difference but I figure anything that helps smooth things out has got to help at least a little. Also I figure they will do better at holding the FMIC in place.

Eddie: my plan as well. What pipes you are up for? I already got NM pipes (about to be installed in spring), and now contemplating getting Helix IC as well...

Same pipes, sitting in the basement. My friend says the IC is the only mod of this sort (pipes, JCW cylinder air filter, etc) he has done that made a noticable power difference...Heat kills power and this takes the heat away so the engine can make the max. For WOT this is it
