okay that isn't a wrx one.. I would be surprized if it is actually fitted ma TK as it has no seal to the bonnet so won't be working very well

Probably underneath the bonnet scoop - the rubber lip seal that seals the bonnet to the intercooler - it forces more air through the intercooler rather than letting it escape around the sides of the intercooler, thus making it more efficient.

Have a look under the bonnet and see if the seal looks to be the right size, i.e. does it seal?????????

Ive seen a few TK's with that style intercooler and i mean genuine TK's not a standard WRX with TK bumpers...A genuine TK had more than a bodykit.
