what? i mean how, the intercooler gets all the air needed from the front dont it? look at mine for example

 

^ The Wrx/Sti has a TMIC.

 

huh, did not know that. That is sooooooo weird

 

They've changed it then. I think I saw a 2003-2005 WRX.

My car has the same radiator spot as the above picture.

 

^ What?

 

My engine has a radiator at the scoop:




Car I saw looked like this:

 

All WRX / STi's have top mounted intercoolers. I believe your car (it's the XT right?) does too. If your car is the turbocharged XT, it's an intercooler not a radiator.

It is a pretty dumb design that Subaru sticks with. That thing just sits on top of the engine and soaks up heat. The STi's intercooler sprayer is pretty worthless too, my buddy put a plant on his intercooler at a car show and watered it with the sprayer... hahaha. I know there's a pic of it around somewhere!

 

Thanks. Yes, my Forester is the turbo. I bought it for the winter, and it is a great car. I'm happy with the 210hp it gives. I had a Pontiac Grand Prix with a 200hp V6, and I prefer the 4cyl in my Scoobie.

I want to put a supercharger on the stang, and I'm hoping that the prices will go down once the 2010 hits the street.

 

An XT is a nice winter beater!

I've seen a few modded ones around at the Suby meets that are badass.

 

FAR from the truth, they are terribly expensive and difficult to bring reliable power from. For instance, tune for cai, exhaust, etc.

You really dont buy a Subaru to go fast.
