It won't improve performance that much but will buy you more overhead in avoiding det as the charge will be cooler, especially if you run the scoop and undertray.

The intercooler comes into it's own if you buy a bigger turbo as the STi flows better with less of a pressure drop.

The STi stencil loks good throught the intercooler though
