Considering it but I am concerned about having an intercooler that is only attached by the intercooler pipes? How does this not bounce around?

I asked this already and here's the answer: The intercooler sits on the rad support and is sandwiched between the front of the support and the bumper cover. It doesn't move or rattle. Search this forum for many discussions and testimonials. There are pure race cars that run this intercooler with the exact same mounting hardware.

Come on you people on the fence, this is a great deal! I'm really surprised we don't have more on the list by now.

I've been wanting one for a while now! Now that I know it fits the 2012 with no mods I will have to talk to the wife. Birthday present! Need to get this soon because I'm itching to drive over to renntech. Count me as a possible. I'll let you guys know soon. Btw anyone have a pic of the helix installed with the grill removed on the bumper?

All you MINI's with turbos do yourself a favor and get you a Helix intercooler first!!!!

Nothing worst than the stock OEM intercooler that quickly robs power out of your car when driven hard. I've noticed immediately the intercooler help keeps the power consistently longer by prolonging heatsoak vs the stock oem intercooler.

A novice with a little patients and standard hand tools can install it within hours!
