Which Intercooler

Just got me self the VF30 Gipa was selling now am after an STI intercooler to go with it. Will any STI V7/8/9 do or are some better than others.

This one looks all right, they a straight swap nothing else needed?

Unless any one how one for sale locally at a decent price.

you may also need the brackets to fasten intercooler to block

not a 100% sure if they are different as the hawkeye wrx had a longer intercooler (rather then wider and deeper)

jonnygav will no better as he recently fitted a V7 sti tmic to his wrx hawkeye

Any one heard of this TMIC, will it be better than an STI unit or is it going to be be like an eBay special?

Got an sti v7/8 intercooler fitted to my hawkeye WRX, not a straight swap as the throttle body is slightly longer on the hawk due to it having an electric throttle but a little bracket extension on the right side and just bent the left side back a little.

The standard undertray is easily modified to match the intercooler too, if you are coming to the meet I will show you how.

Sorry never made it was out watching the match. Any how I have just won the below intercooler at which I think is a fair price, it also states in the Q&A section that the owner has had it fitted to a Hawkeye so should be less work for Drew lol. Only problem is paypal is saying my payment isn't going to clear till the 15th so I am going to miss Duncan for the map change on the 16th but he said he's up early October so I am going to have to be patient. Just to clarify I have the VF30 and what comes with the below auction, there isn't any other pipes/gaskets etc that I am going to need?

Everything you need is there mate apart from the undertray.

Can the under-tray currently fitted be modified to fit this intercooler or am I going to have to spend more money? I am presuming right in saying the under-trays job is to keep heat away from the intercooler or is this a bad guess.

Yours can be modded easily to suit that intercooler

Spot on, ail give Drew a ring when I no the exact date Duncan is up and get it all sorted, feel like a kid waiting for Christmas now lol. I understand you have the same modifications to your Hawkeye Jonny, can you feel much of a difference in the drive?

ohhhhhhhh yes
