for 300 I would skip the STi TM and get a biggar one, one that's bar and plate. Not worth it IMO.

a bar and plate ic is normally the same price as a used sti one.. waste of money for the sti one in my opinion

there are a couple used bar and plate tmics going for sale in the classifieds 300-400 bucks. The sti one is not worth the money. |

175 then I would consider it. But don't expect to feel a power difference with the new intercooler....the sti ones are quite a bit bigger than the stock one so that is an improvement but all you will get is slightly better cooling capability, you won't get better flow from a bar and plate i/c.
read this http://www.are.com.au/techtalk/intec...e%20and%20Fin? there is a nice spearco one for 350 in the classifieds. |
