Im looking into the Hellion kit at brenspeed but have heard there may be some issues with the downpipe coming down too low and scraping EVERYTHING. Anyone have this kit that can give me some more info? Is there any modifications that can be made to the piping? Also are you running stock or lowered springs? Thanks.

the hellion piping hangs at same level as factory. people who scrape up their pipes have their cars lowered way too much. you have to choose one. either have a turbo or be super slammed

Good luck, I heard tuning turbos on our s197s aren't too reliable, especially if your an auto.

cant see how it would be any harder then on another car. depends on the tuner, a good one should have no problems at all

Right now I have the eibach pro-kit springs which isn't too drastic of a drop. Would I have to go back to stock springs?

Frostbitten

no the pro kit doesnt drop it enough to scrape. if the guy has trouble tuning it, i would find a different shop

13, I agree on the good tuner issue. but I can't see a turbo being as easy to tune for a s197 as a twin screw.

not trying to start a fight, but why? have you tuned a turbo car? because i have and with the right software its easy. i will say that with the large range of boost pressure a turbo is capable of, dialing the boost pressure you want adds an extra step but tuning is still the same. with the sc its going to make one level of boost, dictated by the pulley
