Process West Stage 1 Front Mount Intercooler Kit - Subaru WRX - PW Intake Manifold Fitment
Process West builds its intercooler kits in Australia for Australian conditions, and this Stage 1 kit is engineered specifically to cool the FA24 in the Subaru WRX without compromise. It's designed to pair directly with the Process West intake manifold, giving you a clean bolt-on cooling upgrade with no adaptor pipe required.
This listing covers the Subaru WRX (VBH) from 2022 onwards, specifically for owners running or planning to run the Process West Intake Manifold (Standard or Port Injection). It's available in Silver or Black finishes via the variant selector on this listing page.
Important: this kit is not compatible with the factory intake manifold. If you're running the standard intake and plan to fit the Process West manifold later, the traditional Stage 1 Kit (PWFMIC10B) plus Adaptor Pipe (PWIM010AP) is the correct combination instead.
Key Features
- 525 x 350 x 75mm intercooler core with increased internal fin density over factory

- Lightweight CNC mandrel bent aluminium piping matched to the PW Intake Manifold
- Retains the factory crash bar due to deeper core placement
- Bolt-on installation with no cutting of the front bumper required

Vehicle compatibility, OEM part numbers, and fitment notes are provided in the tabs above. Please confirm your intake manifold configuration before ordering, as this kit is specific to the Process West manifold setup.
