Product Description

The Mishimoto MMTMIC-WRX-08BKBK Top-Mount Intercooler Kit is a performance upgrade engineered for 2008-2014 Subaru WRX models equipped with the EJ255 turbo engine. Featuring a dense 3.75" bar-and-plate core, this intercooler significantly improves charge-air cooling capacity compared to the factory unit, helping reduce intake air temperatures under boost and minimize heat soak in spirited driving conditions. The high-efficiency design promotes more consistent power delivery and better throttle response during aggressive driving.

Finished in durable black with corrosion-resistant powder coat, the MMTMIC-WRX-08BKBK installs directly into stock mounting locations without requiring trimming or modification of the hood scoop shroud. The included turbo-to-intercooler O-ring gasket and silicone throttle-body coupler ensure a secure, reliable connection. Built to support stock and moderately modified WRX builds up to approximately 350 whp, this intercooler is backed by Mishimoto's Limited Lifetime Warranty for confidence-inspiring performance and longevity.
