Get the Most Power out of you 2015-2020 WRX
Designed for applications that demand the greatest airflow and cooling capabilities, the Mishimoto WRX Front-Mount Intercooler Kit will provide your Subaru with the ability to make the most horsepower and torque possible. The Mishimoto front-mount intercooler was designed with a large 28" intercooler core that provides the maximum cooling capability without excessive pressure drops that will wear out any turbocharger over time. The Mishimoto WRX front-mount intercooler features smooth cast end tanks that are CFD tested for maximum airflow with no sharp walls or bends from cut-and-weld end tanks that disrupt airflow. The intercooler provides the best airflow and heat-exchange properties for those time-attack laps, or a 10-second blast down the quarter mile.
Improved Airflow and Cooling Capabilities over Stock
The stock intercooler on your 2015-2020 WRX does its job just fine and as it should, but isn’t the most efficient thing in the world, especially when you start to stack on other performance parts and aggressive tuning onto you WRX. The stock intercooler just isn’t able to keep charged air cool enough to maximize the horsepower and torque. That's when you need to jump up to the Mishimoto Performance Front Mount Intercooler for your 2015-2020 Subaru WRX. Mishimoto Performance front mount intercooler features a much larger cooling area and an utterly massive core that greatly improves cooling ability over stock while also maximizing in-bound airflow so that your 2015-2020 WRX can reach the full potential of all its performance parts and tuning and see extra horsepower and torque.

NOTE
Mishimoto recommends that this intercooler kit, not be used with the stock ECU programming. It is highly recommended that the customer be able to retune the vehicle’s ECU after installing the intercooler kit. Power gains will vary depending on the size of the turbo, exhaust system, fuel system, and type of ECU tune that is applied to the vehicle. This kit is rated for approximately 600 whp during normal operating conditions. Maximum horsepower potential will be near 700 whp. Exceeding these horsepower or pressure limits could require a custom-size front-mount intercooler.
THIS FRONT-MOUNT INTERCOOLER KIT WILL NOT FIT WITH THE MISHIMOTO 2015+ WRX OIL COOLER KIT

It all begins with realization
This part is MASSIVE compared to the TMIC. Sure, the installation was a little difficult, but only if you are doing this by yourself. The removal of the TMIC and bumper were actually a little more difficult then installation. All I have to say is, take your time with the install, use WD40 to help make the silicone parts fit on easier and more snug, and route everything as CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to make the bumper installation as easy as possible. Also, be sure all the clamps are TIGHT AND SNUG, you would hate to have a boost leak after being excited to try it out. The turbo spool is definitely louder. Everything you need is supplied, and NO, IT WILL NOT SUPPORT A LICENSE PLATE, so have an adapter or get creative. Other then that, amazing part, good quality, and FYI the chrome color looks phenomenal with any color set-up you plan to have in the engine bay.
