Does anyone know if i can fit an STI intercooler onto my WRX engine? if it will fit do i need any additional hoses or mapping to make i work properly?

tmic= top mounted intercooler
is it a classic?
i am doing this at the weekend, im fitting a version6 tmic depends if you have the earlyshape like mine wrx (95) where the space is very timited so its a tight fit even for the version 6 sti intercooler, you have to cut the lips off the tmic and the trottle body. the newer classic shape you can squeeze in a sti 8 intercooler wich is much better and has higher tolerences.

for the heart ache and messing about, would it not be more benefiical to fit a front mount so its the more or less future proof??

Just a suggestion

I have an 05 plate MY03, just wondered if the same year STI would fit and need mapping?

Im just playing with ideas at the moment!

Bolts straight on mate, the wrx mounting bracket near the turbo is the same as the STI bracket, if you have a look you will see an extra bolt hole for the bigger intercooler, any newage STI intercooler should go straight on

It fits but offers practically nothing other than a 100 rpm earlier spool.
The scoop and or scoop undertray would also be needed.
Doesn't need remapping.
