Good intercooler overall. Easy to install and did not require any special customization. Definitely a direct replacement. The only thing I noticed was the stock splitter on the 2013 STI is not right for this intercooler. I searched high and low for an aftermarket splitter and there is no such part for my year car. I decided to order the 08-14 STI GrimmSpeed splitter and figured I would modify it for my use. I did have to cut some extra holes in the new GS splitter and also in my stock shroud in order to correctly align it to the Process West Intercooler. It turned out great and the GS splitter did allow the PW intercooler to do its job well. Maybe Process West does not sell enough of this model to release a splitter that fits for 08-14 STIs. Not sure, but if you decide to order this intercooler, keep in mind that a proper splitter is necessary in order for it to cool correctly.

This intercoller is great. Had a process west that was designed for a 03-05 sti, but modified it to work on my car. Up until janurary of this year got tired of having the wrong one on my car. So as a result i listed the old one on ebay and brought the proper one in the black finish. Love it, very well made, kind of on the heavy side but my iat's are very good and the fitment is next to none. Would recommend this product to anyone who doesn't want to go for a fminc like myself. Also can't complain that this unit will support up to 500 awhp which may be in my cars future someday. As for the other mods, car has bigger injectors, cold air intake, electronic boost contoller, and a cobb v3 tuner. Car was protuned by turbotec tuning in albany ny, and on e-85 it made 350awhp and 400 ft pounds of on torque on a safe tune. On 93 octane it made 320hp 350tq. Overall great upgrade over the stock intercooler.

Great intercooler and great fitment. Full bolt ons, Full fuel system on e85, and cobb 20g all on stock block pushing 445whp and 444trq. Will be building block and head soon. Going to go rotated with either a p&l 30r or 35r shooting for 550-600whp while keeping the pw tmic and see how it can stand up to the power. I'll keep you all posted when it happens.

Do you know the internal diameter of the pcv hose and fittings that come with this tmic? It seems that, looking at other brands, some tmics come with 1/2" and some come with 3/4".
