As title says, has anybody replaced their standard STI top mount intercooler with a spec c one, and if yes, was there any benefit ?

Car is a 05 sti, but would be interested in any knowledge around this.

Thx!

 

You won't see any benefit swapping them over, they are virtually the same

Right so I know that, just wonder if I'd see any benefit of fitting this over mine. According to my mapper it might give a bit more bhp as it will cool a bit better.

I am just sure if it is worth the effort, that is why i am asking
