Fair enough. It's your car and you should make it just how you want it. You're not going to be running mega power anyhow are you so it shouldn't make a difference. May improve turbo lag.

Is that a pic of the actual STI TMIC intercooler you intend to fit? Only ask as I'm pretty sure that's only a WRX intercooler. Not enough fins to be a newage STI intercooler.
