I'm interested, and will probably get one, but it will have to be next year. Heck even at $599 it seems like a bargain!
I got other things to attend to at the moment or I'd be on this faster than it took to type this.

I’m not a track rat, ….I love autoxing and general performance driving. Most all of the folks I run with drive first gen MINIs. …ok insert jokes about R56, heard them all, but that’s what I own so thats what I run (and love). I digress….. I’ve gotten input that aftermarket intercoolers on R53 may not have been a great mod for autoxing. The point being....that the heat soak takes longer to cool down once you start moving. Is this the case for R56 Helix intercooler? Should one only consider this mod if tracking your MINI.
Really appreciate your input. Thanks -

Just when my meth system fails on the R53 again, and I need a new one.
$599 Is still a heck of a deal, eventually the Porker will get one. -

Well.... can't afford it, but I'm in! I've been hemming and hawing about one of the flea-bay knockoffs because I couldn't justify the high price for a name brand. I saw this and only took two days to talk myself into it. Can't beat the price or quality. August delivery won't be a problem since I'm only able to drive the Mini for short periods of time because of some repair work to the left arm. Now just need to pick up a DP and have it jet hot coated and I'll be ready for a tune. With luck, the Mini and I will be ready for the Dragon in October. Thanks for the deal guys!

Let me know if you are interested in a JCW OEM cat. I have one ceramic coated black with maybe 1000 miles on it.
Won't throw an O2 code like the catless DPs. -
With meth is there any difference over another intercooler?
