STi intercooler will definitely cool the charge a lot better than your stock wrx intercooler.
Dont bother with the SPT intake, keep your stock intake box with none of the extra crap in the fender.

 

+1 keep your stock intake box. intake is not really gonna help you.

 

the perrin pully does make a difference too
and a cooler intake charge is a good thing so the bigger intercooler will help
open air intakes - you hear lots of bad things on subarus and alot of people sell them on the forums so if the remove the inner fender crap and put a k&n drop in filter with the stock box you should be good to go.

 

if you go with the STi intercooler and an intake get a tune or else you may experience boost spike depending on your exhaust set up. The STi intercooler does help get more air to the turbo, but not to much to make it laggy.

 

don't waste your money. Too many people buy TMIC, turbo inlet, intake, dumb stuff that gives them only a little bit more power.

Just get a vf30 immediately after going catless. vf30 is like same price as buying a tmic.

Bottom line is you don't want to get into a money pit situation with the WRX, it's not a good enough car to warrant that.

 

BUT RUNNING A LARGER TURBO PRODUCES MORE HEAT AND THE INTERCOOLER SHOULD BE UPDATED
YOUR CORRECT ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF HP INCREASE FROM THE LITTLE BOLT ONS BUT I WOULDNT RUN A LARGER TURBO WITH THE STOCK INTERCOOLER THATS CRAZY IT WILL DETONATE FROM HEAT SOAK IN THE SUMMER TIME
A WRX IS A GOOD ENOUGH CAR TO DO MILD MODS TO
BETTER THEN DROPPING 20 G'S IN A HONDA OR SOMETHIN

 

ok so i shuld i just get a tune then b/c i was trying to get the most power out of my car before i got the turbo which isn't coming for a while because i'm going to start working on my syspension. thats y i was going to get almost everything besides the injecters n fuel pump. wats wierd is b4 i made the decision on geting the intake everone that bought one said it made a duffrence on the the car and i also asked Ed from method built and he said it would b good to get. n any other comments abou the perrin pully?

 

the cobb intake is the best for a subaru due to the alignment grid infront of the MAF

are you tuned now or stock?
because just a tune is going to give you more hp

 

i have a cobb ap set to the CA stage 2 map
