Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras - View Single Post - Question about 2008 STI Intercooler for a VF-39 Swap.

I was experimenting the other day and removed by stock intercooler to see how the 2008 intercooler may fit, and it is fucking huge! I know that I am going to have to fabricate a new bracket on the passenger side, but what worries me is that the intercooler is so big that the wastegate on the stock turbo was in the way of the bottom of intercooler from mounting. Is the VF-39 designed a bit different so as to allow fitment.
