Sell it on.

I bought and had one fitted, when I knew no better. Complete waste of money.

Maybe on some turbo cars, but not Imprezas. The turbo is water cooled and is below the header tank. Due to the natural convection of water, the turbo will have water circulating through it even after shut off.
You will do more cooling driving the last mile or so off boost of any journey than a TT could ever dream of doing.
