I think it will fit but I can't install the intercooler with the stock td04. It hits the wastegate actuator

your intercooler should'nt have a problem clearing TD04 wastegate arm. ive run stock STI inter-coolers on both a TD04 , VF48 , and Blouch 16gxt, and did not clearance issue.

have any engine bay pics with the issue your mentioning?

This. Is the 2015 intercooler it’s wider then the older one. It wasnt hitting the arm it was hitting the actuator. It sits higher on the td04 then the others

I used about a 1.25" thick washer to elevate the inter cooler on the passenger side to allow proper clearance when installing the bolt on that side.
