Process West Top Mount Intercooler w/Shroud Kit Black Subaru Forester XT 2004-2007

Part #: PRW - PWTMIC09B - KIT. Upgrading your intercooler? Don't make the common mistakes! Many forget to install a correctly sized splitter. A larger intercooler has a great advantage - its large surface area can quickly disperse heat. But using the stock splitter can greatly reduce the intercooler's effective surface area. Another blunder is removing the splitter completely, which lets air escape around the intercooler instead of passing through the core. This lack of air flow causes the intercooler to heat up, making the intake charge warmer, potentially leading to heat soak issues and power loss. The Process West JDM Top Mount Intercooler Shroud Kit is now available for US consumers. It provides more air flow to your intercooler. With this kit, more of the intercooler's surface is covered, forcing air straight to the core. This lowers charge temperatures and boosts power. The JDM Top Mount Intercooler Shroud is made from high - grade steel, with precise welds and a black powder - coat for corrosion resistance. Weather stripping on all four sides creates a proper seal between the shroud and the intercooler, maintaining high pressure inside. This splitter is designed for the Process West Top Mount Intercooler, and it may work with other brands, though fitment isn't guaranteed.

Using your Process West Top Mount Intercooler with Shroud Kit is easy. First, make sure you install the splitter that comes with the kit correctly for the best air flow. The kit is designed to fit the Process West intercooler, but it might work with other brands too, though you'll need to double - check the fit. When it comes to maintenance, the black powder - coated shroud is corrosion - resistant, but it's still a good idea to clean it regularly. You can use a mild soap and water solution to clean the shroud and the intercooler. Also, check the weather stripping on all four sides of the shroud from time to time. If it gets damaged or worn out, replace it to keep the proper seal and high - pressure zone within the intercooler. Be careful not to over - tighten any bolts during installation to avoid damaging the parts. And always follow the standard safety procedures when working on your vehicle.
