The Mishimoto direct-fit top-mount intercooler is engineered specifically for the Subaru WRX from 2008 to 2014.
The stock top-mount intercooler is prone to failure of the stock plastic end tanks and head soak above 18psi.
Mishimoto engineers spent months testing and designing this intercooler for optimum performance on the street and track.
This intercooler features durable cast aluminum end tanks TIG-welded to a highly efficient, dense bar-and-plate core.
The Mishimoto intercooler has a total volume of 584 in3 and a 3.75" thick core.
Thanks to this volume and a dense offset fin pitch, heat transfer is optimized, supporting vehicles from stock up to 400 whp.
This intercooler underwent rigorous testing, showing a +6 whp and +8 wtq bolt-on power increase and a 12°F temperature drop for our stock test vehicle.
Installation requires no modification to any parts in the engine bay and can be completed in under 30 minutes.
Included with this intercooler are a new turbo-intercooler O-ring gasket and Mishimoto's silicone throttle-body coupler.
These components negate the need to gather supplies for installation and ensure reliable service for years.
This intercooler is available in a powder-coated finish of Stealth Black or Sleek Silver and includes the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
