Well, dropped off the car today to have the Hellion Turbo Kit installed. I will post pics up as soon as the car is done.

I will be posting in the classifieds as I will have my Kooks Long tubes with High flow cats up for sale as well as a Zex Nitrous Kit with a full bottle that I never used. Pm me if anyone is interested.

Congrats man, you're gonna love it. Two of my buddies have the helion kit and it produces great power... just watch out for those speed bumps if you're car is lowered. The cold side tubing hangs awfully low.

I guess I should of told you that this was a christmas present from my wife. She also got me qa1 suspension, roll bar, 15" jegs for rear with new drag radials, sticky pod camera mount. Before anyone asks, no she doesn't have a sister.

has anyone with the hellion kit had a problem with the up pipe rubbing on the crank pulley? My car is a saleen and they have different crank pulleys but I really had to dent in the pipe so It would clear.

I just noticed mine rubbing the crank pulley the other day when I had it on jack stands, it has scared the pipe a little bit. I will have my mechanic take a look at it and hopefully get some more clearance when we change the headers and motor mounts. The plumbing in this kit really needs some extra fabrication work done to it for proper clearance, I´ve noticed a few places where the Hellion crew could have done a little better.

I added a small bit of pipe to the kit so that it shifted the turbo up pipe a little bit more foward to gain some extra room, if that makes any sense.

1lowtoy. I also did this, but you can only add so much because it then hits the fan shroud. When the car comes back out in the spring, im taking the pipe off, an cutting that piece out and welding in a flat piece into the pipe for more clearance. I also had to add some pipe in a couple places, I just tought it was the difference in the saleen.

I had the problem with my setup. My shop made a small bar that connects to the turbo that pushes it away from the pulley and my fan is already modified to fit it (since it's one big ass turbo) so there are now no clearance problems.
