And with Ken, Short Wait and Elie, that makes 20 Hope the shipping doesn't break the bank

Now those who are waiting for 20+, time to sign up

And as the man said "time to make the donuts"

and it is only January. 4 more months before coming out of the Northeast deep freeze

Yay! Only took about a month, nice job everyone.

Not rubbing it in, but there's no snow where I live so I'm really looking forward to installing this bad boy.

You just need to move to a warmer climate, like here but I but our pot holes are bigger

I fill my winter down time with skiing - Utah in 2 weeks -so the winter goes by quickly and I am already planning a Mod party

hey 2011 guys, looks like alta confirmed fitment for their FMIC on the 2011 models, they've updated their website with the models that are supported

i went ahead and looked at my friends 2010 MCS and compared the clearance on mine, looks pretty similar...

that's good enough for me, just called in my deposit!

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?!?!)

I'm counting on the same thought about getting the IC before MOTD but not crossing my fingers yet?

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
