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.

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!

Right now it 16 deg out, plowed my driveway with my front bumper and I am looking forward to making my car run cooler
Yup, I'm committed

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?!?!)

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)?Originally Posted by onefish2
Yes. I have the Helix FMIC on my 2009 JCW with the new JCW aero kit with the brake ducts.

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.

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.
