Helix didn't invent the intercooler, but they pioneered the stepped intercooler core design for the N54/N55 engines. Wagner is a budget FMIC that has taken a superior, respected & proven design (Helix) and has made it available at a significantly reduced rate by selling a lower quality core & not including upgraded FMIC piping. I'm not making any acquisitions, but it'll be very interesting to see VRSF's FMIC & CBE designs when they both get released.
My $.02, I wouldn't want budget parts installed on my car where they can have a damaging impact on the engine & quality of performance.
