Intercooler advice

Yes I know, me again.

When I'm looking on fleabay at the STi Intercoolers. How do I tell from the photo if it will fit my 04 WRX.

Ive mailed one or two people who havent stated which year of car its for, but they havent replied and there are a few finishing soon that I'm likely to bid on, whether I know or not, in the hope of getting a bargain (yes I know you are rolling your eyes right now)

I'd rather not buy the wrong one or mr greer will no doubt beat me around the heed with it.

Advice please, easy to follow pictures even better

any newage sti intercooler will fit mate you can tell by the size and where the dump valve is located do you have the link

Count the cooling bars (dunno tech name) along the intercooler mate - the V7/8/9 one's you want have 34, WRX and some earlier STi's have 30

STi one you want - 34 bars



WRX (One you have now) - 30 bars



Hope it helps

You want one like this

Only picked this one for the pictures,

Ive got a Legacy b4 twin turbo, will a sti one fit on mine?

Cheers Tufty thats one of the ones I'm looking at.

Robbo, I'll get me glasses on and start counting.

Anybody got a very reasonably priced one for sale ?

Bugger. Following Robbos logic, the three I was looking at (which had STI decals on) are all 30 bar ones not 34, so presumably no bloody good for me. Just going to have to dig deep then.

depends how the pipework runs with it having the 2 turbos mate. really needs to be seen before being able to say it will/wont. didnt have too close a look at it at the meet, dont know if jonny did?

Thanks, might whip mine off and photo it.
I think Johnny mentioned something about mine having 2 ports on the back??

might just be the case of needing a different 'Y' piece into the cooler? Jonnys best to advise mate

I dare say it would work, I am almost sure the spacing is the same on the back of the intercoolers, very much doubt they would change it for 1 model, too much engineering and tooling costs involved.

But....it is Subaru we are taking about here so anything is possible

If your after a larger TMIC I have a Turbo XS one in my garage, its made by the people who make hyperflow and is exactly the same. £250 and its yours
