What Owners Say
The Mishimoto top mount intercooler generates mixed reactions among WRX and STI enthusiasts. Some owners report that it performs worse than the stock intercooler, questioning its value at this price point when alternatives like the TurboXS exist at lower cost. However, Mishimoto's own testing shows the intercooler delivers measurable gains, with approximately 10% improved cooling efficiency and outlet temperature reductions averaging 12°F across the RPM range. The debate centers on whether these gains justify the investment, especially since the factory intercooler already performs respectably with intake temps only 10 degrees above ambient under boost. This remains a controversial upgrade among the community.
