The Bug WRX intercooler suffers from quite a pressure drop

Just stick on an STi intercooler......forget about the splitter and scoop for now as it's airflow you need for the BHP, with winter coming you are in luck

The STi intercooler is one of Subaru's better efforts LOL

It's a fair price, as long as it's mint mate.
