I did confirm with Hellion that the kit does use the stock manifolds. It also comes with a Precision 67/65 Turbo. Innercooler is mounted vertically in bumper. I was told that more pictures, details, and pricing will be on their website in a few weeks.

it's definitely been in the works for a while. But it appears the kit is in production form and will be available very soon. Hopefully it's priced in the $7k range to be competitive with the supercharger options already available.

I thought any T4 turbo would work? RE: 67/65, wouldn't that be pretty restrictive on a 6.2L V8?

Yeah, if it’s $7k itll should sell. I think $9-10k is way to high for a lot that’s using stock headers, also that turbo size seems kinda odd, restrictive, but who knows I’m hoping they did a fair amount of testing in diff turbo sizes to offer a good combo for the desired whp levels.

I thought that they dropped the kit as it has been a while since the video, but I do hope they follow through with it.

I like the simplicity, but using the stock manifolds and U-turning the exhaust to come forward creates a big engineering/design challenge with back pressure, even with the 76mm turbo. Should be interesting to see how it performs.

Now I know a possible reason why the C7 Hellion turbo system was delayed
