fuente · 2008-11-10, 04:02 PM

So, I am going to do a VF39 swap with a 2008 STI intercooler for my 2006 WRX. I have heard that there may be an issue with one of the brackets lining up right and I know that the new intercooler is a bit bigger than previous models. If I buy a new splitter and bellows (I can only find it for 2006-07 Model Years) will it fit over the new intercooler?

Also, has anyone done this swap before with a 2006-07 WRX? Do you have any suggestions with the install or supporting mods? I am planning on putting in a step colder spark plugs and I already have a COBB AP, full Cobb Turboback, and all-new mounts.
