Upgrade your 2022 - 2025 Subaru WRX to a whole new level with the Mishimoto performance top - mount intercooler kit. This all - in - one kit gives your FA24 engine the ability to breathe in all the cool boost it desires.
Starting at the turbo, we've swapped the stock plastic charge pipe with a mandrel - bent and CNC - machined aluminum one. The smooth bends and transitions enhance airflow by 20% compared to the stock pipe. The integrated turbo quick disconnect reduces potential failure points, so you won't have to worry about a hard - to - access coupler popping off during a drive. Also, the all - aluminum construction can better withstand high boost pressures than the stock plastic pipe.
The highlight of this kit is the significantly upgraded top - mount intercooler and shroud. We've replaced the plastic end tank intercooler with cast - aluminum end tanks and a high - flow core that's 88% larger than stock. This larger core volume allows the intercooler to flow over 40% better than stock, easing the strain on your turbo and enabling it to push more cold air into your engine. We've also added 76% more fin surface area to the core, effectively transferring heat and keeping outlet temperatures within 10 degrees of ambient. To ensure cool outside air reaches the intercooler, we've scaled up the intercooler shroud to expose the entire core to fresh air from the WRX's signature hood scoop.
This kit comes with everything needed for installation, including new shroud hardware. It's available with a black intercooler core and black pipes to match any color scheme. With Mishimoto's Lifetime Warranty, you can drive your WRX aggressively, knowing Mishimoto has got your back.
