Process West – Top Mount Intercooler – Subaru Impreza WRX STi (01-07)

Description

Introducing our revolutionary top-mounted intercooler designed explicitly for WRX/STi enthusiasts who demand the utmost in performance. Our relentless commitment to excellence led us to scrutinize our competitors’ offerings, identifying and rectifying critical errors in their designs. Unlike others in the market, we addressed a glaring issue that plagues every competitor ? the lack of proper ducting/shrouding to complement the increased size of the intercooler.

Installing a larger intercooler without optimizing the airflow is a futile endeavor. Recognizing this, we present a meticulously engineered solution: a precisely sized shroud designed for optimal application. Witness the difference in the accompanying image of our top-mounted intercooler installed in a 2006 Forester XT, showcasing the inefficiency of competitors’ setups with incomplete shrouding.

One prevalent flaw among competitors is the tendency to manufacture overly thick intercoolers for the sake of marketing bravado. Contrary to the “bigger is better” mantra, a 90mm (3.5in) thickness proves ideal for our intercooler. This ensures efficient heat exchange, lower outlet temperatures, and consequently, enhanced power. Our turbo compressor outlet to intercooler (Y-pipe) design further sets us apart. Unlike competitors’ uneven air distribution, our Y-pipe guarantees perfect charge air distribution, ensuring optimal performance.

Putting our claims to the test, we conducted dyno tests, acknowledging the challenges of testing top-mounted intercoolers. In a head-to-head comparison with a stock intercooler, our results speak volumes. The Process West intercooler outperformed with a baseline power of 115.5kw, maintaining lower outlet temperatures throughout the test. Conversely, the stock intercooler struggled, hitting a peak of 66?C after a single run, highlighting its inefficiency.

Real-world street testing solidifies our product’s superiority. On-road trials demonstrated our intercooler’s ability to keep outlet temperatures consistently low even under rigorous conditions. The Fluke 87 digital multimeter confirmed these findings, with outlet temperatures peaking at a mere 43?C during intense driving sessions.

Designed to fit Subaru Impreza WRX STi models from 2001 to 2007, our top-mounted intercooler, complete with a matching splitter, is the epitome of performance perfection. Trust Process West for an intercooler that surpasses industry standards, providing unparalleled power and reliability for your Subaru. Upgrade to excellence ? upgrade to Process West.
