front mount intercooler (benefits)
 

ok got front mount intercooler on my k reg wrx just got to put pipes on but want to no what diffrence will it make

Nothing until you get a remap mate.

it will lower the air temps m8. as said above in conjunction with a map the mapper can advance the timing, air fuel etc to release more power from the engine with the colder air temps from a front mount as the top mount suffers from heat soak sitting on top of a hot engine especially the small slanty ic,s found on early cars.

i dont realy want more power or anything can i just hook up the front mount intercooler or do i need to have a re map if i connect it up

You don't want a remap which is fair enough, so what other benefits would you like or expect to see?

I'm missing something here.

so why bother fitting it then?? if its just for looks just put it in and dont connect it.

it will need a remap if you fit it.

The problem is that mapping is expensive, in your case it will be ESL and £600. And that is the sole reason you see so many modified cars running standard map, even though mapping is the most beneficial mod of all.
Fitting things like front mounts and de-cats is pointless unless your prepared to pay for the mapping.

we know this, but they never listen:freak3:

a few weeks later the thread "subarus are **** will apear"

my car blew up because i fitted x,y and z

did you get a remap???

no:brickwall

ok guys point taken the car came with fmic part fitted but pipes not on the intercooler so just thought i could connect it up with no issues
im no mechanic but thanx for advice going to get it put on and re mapped at b and d engineering in kent going to spend up to £2000 on it while i have it thats including re map so should cover any hidden costs
thanx
