Does anybody have any suggestions for a cheap intercooler for my E85 tune (I mean cheap because I am on a tight budget...preferably a top mount. Or do you guys think my stock intercooler will suffice for now? or do you think I even need a larger intercooler?

I plan on getting a larger turbo (blouch evo 3 big 16G turbo) and a larger intercooler in the future, but idk because im literally on a tight budget.

what do you guys think?

 

stock sti tmic, or a off brand ebay brand tmic will be just fine

 

I was actually thinking of picking up an STI TMIC like you said for ~$500, but if I do and when I upgrade to a larger turbo, the 16G in the future, will I be able to keep my STi TMIC?

sorry for all the noob questions. i just want it done right

 

sti TMIC should be around 300 not 500

 

Everywhere I look I find them for $500+

I THINK i found the OEM one from subaruoem.com but Im not sure

 

Buy used.
Repair any bent fins.
Be golden.
