Is any one running this intercooler or know of any one running it?

MINI Cooper (R56) Helix Stepped Core Intercooler (http://www.eurosportdesign.com/p-1456-mini-r55r56-helix-stepped-core-intercooler.aspx)

Would it be worth while or just pay the extra for a forge one which is a lot larger.

Thanks chris

Hi

Been looking at these two options as well. I am not sure the Forge is any bigger to be honest :confused:

Judging by pictures they are pretty similar size, the Forge may be a tad thicker but it is a similar Step Core design as that is all there is room for.

The graphs indicate similar performance :p

I would be interested in the Helix, but it would be interesting if they would drop the price if two or more interested :biggrin:

Picked one up direct from the seller paying £200 cash. For me it was a no brainer as Helix (which this is supposed to be) and Forge are very similar with rumours of one copying the other if you do a search. Cheapest I could find the Forge item for was £400 so represents good value.

Hopefully get mine fitted this month at the same time as a new bumper I got in the same day.
