Engineer the best-performing aftermarket top-mount on the market. By studying the common failures in the aftermarket, like poor ducting and inefficient core thickness, we built a cooling solution that sets a new standard for the Subaru platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis TMIC does not include a splitter, though we strongly recommend running one. See our other models that include vehicle-specific splitters.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #000;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcess West 90mm intercooler core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-flow moulded silicone Y-pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #000;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptimal core thickness: 90mm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany competitors push 114mm (4.5\") cores on a \"bigger is better\" pitch. For a top-mount, where air has to make a sharp 90 degree turn through a bonnet scoop, too much thickness just creates resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur design uses a 90mm (3.5\") core. The air breathes through the core instead of hitting a wall. The result is lower outlet temps and more consistent power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #000;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh-flow silicone Y-pipe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard aftermarket Y-pipes often push air unevenly, favouring one side of the core. Our custom-moulded silicone Y-pipe is built for even charge-air distribution across the entire entry tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #000;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProven performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDyno testing is notoriously hard for top-mounts due to limited scoop airflow. Even so, back-to-back testing on our '05 WRX against the factory unit returned clear gains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 115.5kW, up from the factory 107.5kW.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermal control: the PW unit peaked at 51°C in static dyno conditions, against 66°C for the stock unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder three back-to-back runs to simulate heavy load, factory outlet temps climbed to 84°C. The Process West unit stayed far more stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut on the road is the real test. During spirited mountain driving, the stock intercooler peaked at 72°C and kept climbing, with a noticeable loss of liveliness. The Process West system never exceeded 43°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUpgrade to the Process West TMIC and keep your Subaru cool, responsive and reliable under any conditions.
