TurboXS Front Mount Intercooler Subaru WRX / STI 2002-2007

When you need massive airflow and top - notch cooling, the Turbo XS Front Mount Intercooler is your go - to solution. It has a bar and plate core that's over 3.3 times larger than the factory IC core volume. This larger core not only provides better cooling but also offers less restriction at high flow rates. One great feature is that unlike many other FMICs, the WS - FMIC allows you to keep your factory fog lights. It fits WRX models from 2002 - 2005 and STi models from 2004 - 2005. The core dimensions are 25x9.25x3.5. Note that you'll need a Short Ram intake like the TurboXS WS - INTAKE to install the WS - FMIC. The kit includes a front mount intercooler core, an intercooler piping kit, 4 - ply silicone couplers, stainless - steel T - bolt clamps, and a replacement radiator overflow bottle. It uses the factory BOV, has a built - in crash beam, and the BOV is not included.

Using this Turbo XS Front Mount Intercooler is straightforward. First, make sure you have a Short Ram intake like the TurboXS WS - INTAKE as it's required for installation. Install the front mount intercooler core, then connect the intercooler piping kit using the 4 - ply silicone couplers and stainless - steel T - bolt clamps. Replace the radiator overflow bottle with the one provided in the kit. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the clamps to ensure they're tight and there are no leaks. Inspect the intercooler core for any debris or damage. Clean the core gently if you notice any dirt buildup. And don't forget that it uses the factory BOV, so keep an eye on its performance too.
