Turbo XS 06-07 WRX/STi Front Mount Intercooler *Use Factory BOV/BOV NOT INCLUDED*

If you're looking to get the most out of your turbocharged 2002-2007 Subaru Impreza, especially if you've made other engine modifications, a front mount intercooler is a key upgrade. This Turbo XS Front Mount Intercooler is designed to replace your factory top-mount unit, offering a much larger surface area and more efficient airflow to cool the compressed air from your turbo before it enters the engine. Cooler air means denser air, and denser air allows for more fuel to be added, resulting in a more powerful and consistent engine output, particularly during spirited driving or repeated acceleration.

This intercooler kit is built with a substantial core, featuring a well-built bar-and-plate design that handles heat dissipation effectively. The piping is crafted from durable aluminum, and it's shaped to fit the 2002-2007 Subaru Impreza chassis with minimal fuss. The kit is designed to utilize your factory blow-off valve (BOV), which means you won't need to purchase a separate one, though it's important to note that the BOV itself is not included in this kit. Installation involves routing the new intercooler piping and mounting the larger intercooler unit in the front bumper area, a common upgrade path for WRX and STI owners looking to push their performance further.

When installing this intercooler, pay close attention to the routing of the new aluminum piping to ensure it doesn't rub against any moving parts or sharp edges within the engine bay. Because this is a significant airflow modification, it's often recommended to have your engine's fuel and timing maps adjusted by a professional tuner to take full advantage of the improved cooling. This intercooler is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
