How To Install A Top Mount Intercooler Subaru WRX STI

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

The Mishimoto top mount intercooler looks great. I like the factory one myself. Subies forever.

Nice work. I have a 09 wrx pretty FBO pushing 300whp. I did brembos on it, and was thinking about getting the sti transmission. I finally broke down and purchased a beautiful 2015 sti. Unfortunately it didn’t have an aos. I went to install one, and can’t get the turbo hose to slide all of the way down. I’ve spent about 3 hours. I’ve removed the IC to see if I can move the hose from the aos that is close to the place you have to connect the coupler, but I have it almost there. I purchased some screwdrivers with the hooks but I guess they are not really long so they helped but still could not get it all of the way down. I don’t have any boost leaks since I’m building the same boost as I did before the aos.

I went with garett myself. Definitely woke my car up when it got tuned.

Great vid like always!!

[@DonteTidwell]

Appreciate that

Unless you are going for more boost with an upgraded turbo the factory tube and fine core is the better option, tuners have said this multiple times.

[@DonteTidwell]

Yup. I 100% agree

[@alanchanthavisouk8557]

Do I need a tune after installing the top mount intercooler?

[@DonteTidwell]

no. you do not need a tune

Looks like a waste of money if the oem one still in good condition.
