When you get time, can you PM me the $ for the intercooler kit, flip and brackets...
Already have an F1C, might be looking to convert drive system and upgrade from the twin IC's
Thanks!

Just installed one in the shop. There is a new word for the Cartek/HPE kit. Unfreakinbelieveable!!!
It trumps every other kit on the market in regards to coolness/bling factor. The tensioner is nothing short of amazing. The brackets are engineered with future power gains in mind. We haven't dyno'd ours yet, but I have a feeling its gonna be amazing.
Excellent job Cartek/HPE!!

... a lot of time and thought went into the design of the bracket. We can't wait to hear about the results! Some video/pics will be awesome

Nah, no need to make one up, there's already plenty of internet records out that he could shoot for LOL. 
A blower would make total sense for him now as his car is among the few (only?) C5s/C6s to run 9s with nitrous, 9s NA and 9s (even 8s) with a turbo
...he just needs to do it with a supercharger now LOL.

I had posted these pics on the C5 forum, but wanted to show off my HPE brackets on the C6 forum too.
I got the brackets back from the plater. I had them Anodize Type III, Class 1 (Clear Hardcoat Anodized). This process usually comes out dark grey and I thought it would look cool. I'm happy with how they look. Here's some before and after pics of the Flip Drive and the Supercharger brackets. The only thing I didn't plate was the tensioner because I wasn't 100% sure of the assembly techinque (which Julio helped me with later), but I kind of like the contrast between the bare aluminum tensioner and the grey.
