Yes, and no.
You'll need a new lower hose as the WRX one will not fit with the STi intercooler. I used the Samco ones for mine as they make it easier to fit as they are more flexible.
Loosen the bracket on the block to the intercooler to gain some play so it lines up before refitting.
You'll only get the full benefit with an STi bonnet scoop and undertray.
