$285. for all that seems almost to good to be true. I want it.

I am trying to get all the data and testing, but must do some thing prior to installing. I also need to test the new injectors I have as well. lots of things, not enought time.. now with 12+ of snow coming... who knows when I can get some data. I want a day above freezing before doing any temp logging.
Core returns will be mandatory on these items though.

dyno your car in its present config at Helix. then dyno it same config on your local dyno. then we can compare your local dyno to Helix' results
then change out parts and dyno locally.

It's possible they haven't dyno'd yet because last I heard they were having problems with the calibration of their dyno......maybe Helix can chime in and let us know the status? thanks in advance

The more retained heat in the exhaust the better..
If you read between the lines in one of the above quotes, one of the turbo tuners doesn't coat the header to protect the TURBO!
Stainless is nice, but no matter how "fast" the gas gets out of the pipe, if it's hot on the inside, it gets hot on the outside.... So coating the headers is still the way to go.
Interesting about the intakes.... There are lots of EFI manifold adaptors that are sold as "thermal isolators" and do work. But insulating the gas path after a compressor is counter-intuitive, to say the least!

Hay JLM, what's the third bung for? Data logging with a wide band?

For the items ported without the coatings, it will be 285
For them coated, it will be about 410-440 (not sure yet)
Also included are the items below.
