Pushing the limits of your factory top mount intercooler?
If you have made modifications to your vehicle such as an upgraded turbo-back exhaust system with upgraded fuel, increased boost or an upgraded turbocharger then your factory top mount intercooler may not be robust enough.
Process West are recognised for producing some of the strongest intercoolers on the market and this front mount intercooler system is no exception - their main focus is design and excelling in quality parts. The intercooler core is a large 620 x 275 x 90mm bar and plate core that comes with lightweight CNC mandrel bent aluminium intercooler pipes.
Benefits
- Maximum air flow and greater distribution across the intercooler core is achieved through high-flow upswept intercooler end tanks.
- The cooling efficiency of the turbocharger is improved because the front mount intercooler provides the vehicle with larger surface coverage. This in turn reduces heat soak and allows the turbo to operate optimally.
- It actually fits! Cheaper intercooler kits cost less to buy, but cost significantly more to fit, often requiring modification and can give poor results.
Compatibility
The advantage of this kit is that it will fit to the vehicle without making modifications to the kit or chassis. Necessary hardware as well as a blow off valve adaptor, high-grade silicone couplers and clamps are included in the kit making it one of he best off-the-shelf options for the 08-14 Subaru GRB WRX on the market. Trimming of the bumper is required. This is intercooler is to fit the version 11, AKA v11 WRX STI. It will fit JDM, NZ, Australian, US and European variations with the EJ207 or EJ257 engines.
***This intercooler REQUIRES an aftermarket intake to be used. WILL NOT work with factory intake. Please see PWCAI04
