intercooler horsepower gain
ok guys i was wondering how much of a horsepower gain would get from intalling and 02 wrx intercooler on my 93 ss ? stock turbo
ej22t hybrid, 3.5" downpipe, Gl turbo intake/desnorkel 9psi DEAD
Unless you turn the boost up, probably very little to none.

I think you may actually feel something.
The rule of thumb I heard of is for every 10* you drop intake temps you gain 1% more HP.
On a FMIC I'd say you'd have a noticeable power difference, but I'm not sure how well a WRX TMIC will work to cool charge temps with the tiny SS scoop feeding it air.

My results are a bit skuwed because I did a 3" TBE at the same time I did my Saab 900 TMIC.
But it did make a very noticable difference. Once I start turning up the boost I expect to see more.
It's once you start turning things up that you will see your biggest gain. I don't see anyway that it wouldn't be worth your time though, particularly if you plan to continue building your car.

i just installed the 06/07 wrx Top mount and i feel ALOT of difference.
i haven't even turned up the boost yet
but i also have a badass 2.5rs hoodscoop.
i think my gas mileage went down though because now i hear the turbo...and i like it alot
