STI intercooler?

Does anyone knows about this USDM STI intercooler direct bolt on or what? I'm interesting in getting one for my 02. Please advice!

A USDM STi intercooler is not a direct bolt-on from what I've heard. I think you can fit certain JDM STi intercoolers though.

What would you need it for? Unless you have a bigger turbo you may do more harm than good to your boost levels.

If you put a bigger intercooler on it's best to get the ECU tuned as well so the air/fuel mix is right
