About this product
Product Fitment:
2015-2021 Subaru WRX
The Process West Front Mount Intercooler Kit is the ultimate cooling upgrade for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX (VA chassis). Engineered to maximize performance, this system delivers consistent, reliable power where the factory intercooler struggles-especially under sustained load and aggressive driving conditions.
Whether you're running a tuned setup, hitting back roads, or pushing your WRX on track, this FMIC kit ensures your engine stays cool, efficient, and responsive.
Why the Factory Intercooler Falls Short
The OEM intercooler is sufficient for stock conditions, but once pushed beyond its limits, heat soak becomes a major issue. As intake air temperatures rise:
- Power output drops
- Throttle response weakens
- The ECU pulls timing to protect the engine
This leads to inconsistent and reduced performance during spirited driving.
Superior Cooling Performance
At the core of the system is a large 685 x 275 x 85mm bar-and-plate intercooler, dramatically increasing cooling capacity over the stock unit.
Benefits include:
- Lower intake air temperatures
- Increased air density for improved combustion
- Consistent power delivery across the RPM range
- Reduced heat soak under repeated load
This ensures reliable performance whether you're on the street or track.
Optimized Airflow with Mandrel Bent Piping
The kit features CNC mandrel bent aluminum piping, designed to provide smooth and unrestricted airflow:
- Maintains consistent diameter through every bend
- Eliminates airflow restrictions common in crush-bent piping
- Improves turbo efficiency and response
The result is a more efficient airflow path from turbo to throttle body.
True Bolt-On Installation
Designed for a clean and straightforward install, this kit offers true bolt-on fitmentt:
- No cutting or permanent modifications required
- Includes all brackets, clamps, and hardware
- OEM-style integration for a professional finish
