What kind of tunes is this intercooler designed for?

This Mishimoto intercooler is specifically designed for use with stock tunes up to Stage 2 maps. It's built to handle the increased boost and heat generated by these common tuning levels for your WRX.

What are the benefits of the increased core volume and surface area?

The larger core volume and increased external fin surface area allow the intercooler to dissipate heat more effectively. This results in a lower charge air temperature, which helps maintain engine power and can prevent heat soak during spirited driving or track use.

Does this intercooler kit include all necessary installation hardware?

The manufacturer's description focuses on the intercooler core and end tanks. It is recommended to refer to the specific installation instructions provided by Mishimoto for a complete list of included hardware and any additional items that may be needed for installation.

Product Details

Mishimoto is known for making well-built cooling components, and this Street Performance Top-Mount Intercooler is a prime example for your 2015-2021 Subaru WRX. If you're pushing more boost through your FA20DIT engine, the stock intercooler can quickly become a bottleneck. This Mishimoto unit is designed to replace the factory intercooler and is optimized for stock tunes up to Stage 2 maps, making it a solid choice for many WRX owners looking to improve their car's performance.

This intercooler features fully cast aluminum end tanks that are TIG-welded to a robust bar-and-plate core. This construction is built for maximum cooling efficiency while keeping pressure drop to a minimum.

This translates to a notable 34°F drop in outlet temperatures and a 12-percent increase in flow, which are key factors in maintaining consistent power delivery under load.

The Mishimoto 2015-2021 Subaru WRX Street Performance Top-Mount Intercooler is available in a sleek black finish.
