Just wondering if anyone knows if an STI 5 intercooler will bolt straight onto an my 99 (one with dv bolted to intercooler) and will there be a slight increase in performance? Or will it just look good!

Cheers,

Ayde.

I fitted one to mine

straight fit, took about ten minutes total, I also took the liberty of fitting Samco Hoses too whilst I was at it

Not sure exactly how much difference it does make, but I think it has lowered the temps by a fraction, and I did noticed my boost was slightly higher

edited to add - it does look better too

They do fit but they look identical apart from the colour so I can't see where the extra performance will come from.

Silver reflects heat but black loses it better!

I remember reading there may be inernal differences between the uk and sti intercoolers too, autospeed did an article on it some time back...

Don't bother its tiny compared to a decent after market type.

the difference maybe negliable, compared to an Aftermarket one, but then so was the price

for mine at least

Just changed my STi V3 IC to a BRD IC. Twice as deep but nearly twice the weight too! A lot more aluminium to chill with a CO2/waterspray etc system!
