Default Me again - top mount i/c choices.....

I want to uprate my early slanty intercooler and so far have the option of this:

This costs £200......but comes from china......not sure if it will be good, but surely better than the standard one??

Then I saw this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUBARU-IMPREZA...QQcmdZViewItem

And this is absolutely perfect.....however, its for the newage cars and will not fit mine without me moving the clutch resovoir? according the the seller...

So, who makes other alternatives???
Would putting a later STi 4/5/6 intercooler on just do the same thing? Are they simple to fit also???

I suppose this should also be in general tech....I'll post it there too.
Cheers
Steve

The one off ebay does look good and you might get away with shortning the tube from the clutch resovoir rather than move it.
However you can get a FMIC for about the same price which is superior to any top mount.

i dont think you will be able to fit one of those intercoolers to your earlier impreza as i sure the throttle body will put the intercooler into the bulk head ??? but i could be wrong

I would agree with Steve here. The later cars have a different manifold and throttle body location. The new age is different again.
