That being said, the box can be moved if done correctly and all connections are made. That modification is up to the consumer. We have a multitude of systems on the road with the box in our specified location with no issues, so it comes down to preference.

If anyone has any questions please contact us at tech@hellionpowersystems.com or 505-873-4670.

I am sorry if I am coming off as an unsatisfied customer, I am not. I absolutely love my kit. Regarding the fuse box I am fairly sure every customer who buys this knows it is the weak point of the whole shebang. I understand the reasons for leaving the fuse box where it is, cost and simplicity are huge factors. That being said in a kit thats big draw over other twin turbo kits is the aesthetics having the fuse box in its current location is a turn off. I also dont like having it that close to a major heat source. Im not expecting any problems out of the current location but it just doesn't feel finished to me having it where it is at.

I 100% agree. I am really happy with the kit. It sounds badass while driving too.

As far as how the relocation was done, I would have my installer explain. Moving it to the bumper is the easiest and quickest way we thought. We also compared my inter fender with a 2014 and it was different...I have a really early production 2010 so that might be it.

Anybody have any videos of them doing WOT pulls with the kit? Or any drive by videos? Thanks

My only concern with the bumper location would be there rare times you get caught in the rain. Those boxes are made to be 100% waterproof.

I suppose it doesn't much matter, but a re-do for me would be somewhere in the interior of the car.

The trunk?!?! Well, that seems a little extreme.

Thank you.

We understand that the fuse box location once the turbos are installed is not the same as stock, but given the challenges in packaging two turbos of that size, we decided leaving it in its current location was the best option. If we directed our customers to start splicing wires as part of the installation, in our opinion, that would be a weaker link in the system than where we have it currently.

Fuse box relocation is definitely an option for those who want to do it, as long as there is an understanding that it needs to be done with care to insure proper operation afterwards.

If anyone would like to discuss these options please feel free to contact us.

Thinking of it from a business logic, it would make more sense for the relocation not to be a part of the installation because it complicates the install. Complicating the install turns customers away.

With that said, I can understand. But with the huge PITA that the fuse box has been since my install, I would be a much happier customer if this was a 'communicated option' from Hellion, and from the beginning.

Like someone said before, I am by no means a complaining customer. Couldn't be happier with the kit.

So I finished relocating the fuse box a few days ago and I'm finally driving it BUT, now I am having issues with my aftermarket valve cover. Under boost the cap flys off lol. Will be modifying the cover to take a screw on cap and make a bigger custom catch can so that it will help with all the blow by and oil situation. it's been frustrating getting the final touches done but for what I've seen the car will be insane once dialed in.

Wow! That is a sweet looking setup.

I like this kit. Has anyone run one on the track yet? If so what was the ET?

Will you guys be developing a top mount turbo setup for the new 6th Gen camaro coming out this fall?

Yes. We will plan a similar system for the new 6th Gen.
