First of all, Verticooler is an AMAZING product. I am sure other brands that use the same design will function very well too. My only issue is the installation for the USDM WRXs, requires more work and relocation of certain cables in order for this to fit. Tools were not included so it made installation VERY difficult thinking I had everything I needed. I ended up taking the car to Cobb Socal where they installed it for me, they had to drill new holes to shift the intercooler 1/2"-1" to the left to make clear the BPV. Been using the intercooler for over a year now, pushing 300awhp on 91oct on conservative tune, no issues what so ever.
Hi Brett, does this fit 2012 gen 5 liberty GT? I am following all your tips on your liberty videos and now I am onto intercooler and turbo upgrades, need to hit 200 KW, nearly there!
On an earlier video you said that wasn't a substantial improvement. That's pretty spot on. I think I might stick with what the Subaru engineers have come up with.
+MRT Performance love your vids for the MY15. Does it knock, rub or heat the underside of that cowl, looks like its always touching. Also is it hard up against the pitch stop mount behind? I have an aftermarket pitch stop mount which would give a few mm less clearance than stock.
+pracata732 Rick from rally sport direct said there is no problem driving in the rain. Will be ordering mine soon. If they have it at subifest I'll buy it there.
The IC looks like a burnt piece of toast in a toaster oven. This is a poor location for A/A IC, however it is fine if this were an A/W design with a high flow water pump.

i like this .keeps the car looking sleeper with no big i/c showing at the front and no cutting front bars to fit

Do you need a tune for this ?
Will this kit fix into Levorg? Thank you.

Lloyd Clark gains only when heat loaded
is this thermal ceramic coated, and by going verticle does this mean a strut arm cant be fitted now because of space?
Looking forward to getting this in a couple of weeks. I have your 3" SS system on MY16 WRX and love it.
+XXWRXX GREAT!
:)
Hey Brett I couldn't find a link to go buy the verticooler you displayed in this video where is that?
I am looking forward for an inter-cooler upgrade. Here in Puerto Rico it can get nasty hot! Love the design!!! Let us know when and where can we buy?
ISMACM Productions you can pre order from us
+ISMACM Productions Look into MAPerformance channel on youtube. They have great products including a big upgrade intercooler.
Awesome video! Can you do more STi vids? Especially the GV or GR body style.
inmymemory507 will do
:)
nice vid... question on that intercooler would it be a clearance on the front strut bar i have a (Cusco) ? Thanks...=)
PWDJDM 15 Strut brace wont fit...
Start the video at 2:15 Bump!
Will this Verti-cooler block the installation of STI strut bar on 2011 Forester 2.5XT?
tight fit
doens't the air hit the firewall after that? Where does it escape?
down behind it, where it normally goes with the factory intercooler
Do they offer a kit for 05-09 obxt auto?
awesome kit! looking forward to purchasing for my car in the future!
how much does it cost to install
Does tmic requires a tune
when will these be available to buy?
+masterbasser002000 available NOW
:)
+MRT Performance love your vids for the MY15.
Does it knock, rub or heat the underside of that cowl, looks like its always touching.
Also is it hard up against the pitch stop mount behind? I have an aftermarket pitch stop mount which would give a few mm less clearance than stock.
So how much for this intercooler kit?
Trifling Errydayy It has not been officially released, YET!
;)
MRT Performance So how about now?
Does it retain the same by pass valve location?
fits using a combination of factory and new (supplied parts)
MRT Performance will this intercooler clear a tanabe strut bar?
MRT Performance can you also polish the pipe?
Do you have any top mounts for the subaru impreza s gt ej20 ?
will this fit the 2015 subaru wrx cvt? i hear some fitment issues with the cvt.
+kevin dionisio we have a kit to fit the CVT model
+kevin dionisio Not that you are really interested in performance with a CVT, you should have bought a Corolla S with automatic.
Awesome video and product.
im guessing strut bracing is out of the question. Thats purely an assumption from what i can see.
Will it get bees and butterfly's stuck to it?
+Watching RUclips 100 %ok
will it work on a 2007 sti ..........
no
Will it be safe to drive in the rain with this intercooler? The reason I ask is cause parts look more expose than with the stock intercooler.
That's a real good question!you read my mind
+pracata732 Rick from rally sport direct said there is no problem driving in the rain. Will be ordering mine soon. If they have it at subifest I'll buy it there.
+CEPHALEXIN323 thanks for letting me know!
+CEPHALEXIN323 100% ok
remember your intercooler is exposed by the hood scoop anyway in the rain. If anything the rain just cooks off the IC better lok
The IC looks like a burnt piece of toast in a toaster oven. This is a poor location for A/A IC, however it is fine if this were an A/W design with a high flow water pump.
aren't front mounts better?
+kahlum1 nope
How come?
Yes...yes they are. Where does the heat from the engine go??... straight up into the top mount!.
That's right
How Many hp can it handles?
+cresencio flores not really a quantifiable question as its more related to heat rejection than power potential
:)
+MRT Performance ok but if I have a 500 hp car do you think this intercooler will be fine or do you think I should buy a bigger intercooler
should be fine, BUT it depends on your HEAT LOAD!
Phenomenal Vids, all the best from The US
Wow. Nice! Possible purchase!
I wish this would fit on STis ):
+G Hammer not possible due to the "old" inlet design on the STi :(
Still available in 2023$
Why the hell do you even bother making a video when you have no results?!
people want to see how it fits
you didn't listen to what he said did ya?
Front-mount or F#$% off!.
Fmic creates delayed throttle response. Tmic is awesome when set up correctly to avoid heatsoaking.
How much is this intercooler?
+Alejandro Cassola contact us direct
Will this kit fix into Levorg? Thank you.
Clement Ng the new WRX VC fits the levorg.
