Does it have the y shaped pipe on the underneath of the intercooler?

You would be fine to change it before the remap.

You will be fine just fitting it for now, but you may as well fit the tmic when you are fitting the turbo and injectors (prob day before the remap - as it will run like a pig til mapped)

word of warning: you'll need the undertray from the STI as well to make full use of the intercooler, otherwise the cooled area is no larger than that of a WRX one.

To get the undertray to fit, you either have to fit a bigger scoop, or modify the undertray to have the bottom part of the STI tray and the top (scoop part) of the WRX tray.
