Fitment Information:
2015-2021 Subaru WRX
Please note: This intercooler is larger, and it sits a little lower, than the stock intercooler. Making contact with the clutch slave cylinder is expected. Also, trimming of the engine cover is required for proper fitment.
Features:
The Garrett Top Mount Intercooler for your 15-21 WRX boasts a 70% larger core than stock and supports up to 500 horsepower. Optimized end tanks improve air flow through the core by improving turbulent design features found in the stock unit. Bar and plate construction with advanced offset fin design provide the industries most advanced technology available in the market. This performance intercooler installs in less than an hour and reuses the OEM bolts, hoses, and clamps.

Performance: Dyno Testing for Horsepower
Up to 30 °F intake manifold temperature reduction and 16 HP and 15 lb-ft performance gain
Performance: Dyno Testing for Heat Saturation
- Multiple back-to-back dyno pulls in a wind tunnel to simulate real world driving conditions.
- **Air velocity is synchronized with vehicle speed**
- 30 °F intake manifold temperature reduction
Heat soak/saturation identifies the limit at which a CAC can no longer reduce charge air temperatures going into the engine.
