Some info on the cooler, its hard to find actual data but this is what i know:
(UK based) Pace and TSL Motorsport developed charge cooler, water to air and air to air (Dual core TMIC). The water pump was sourced from a company over here but no idea which one.
Retailed for around Aus $4K new. The one I have is off the TSL demo car, never fitted to a car here. Very rare kit, I think there may be one fitted to a car over east but
afaik this is the only one in WA. The kit is a direct bolt on for GD WRX/STI. Only thing I would recomend would be to get a splitter plate made to get a good seal for the airflow from the scoop.
Build quality is exceptional. TSL tested them to 25psi and they are capable of supporting 400hp (TSL have rated them to 440).

I can't churn out tech data for you on before intercooler/after intercooler temps vs. load vs. boost vs ambient temp etc etc. However I can say that using my PSI3 which reports intake temp the car typically saw between 4-15 deg C above outside temp in late spring weather on regular driving (blasts and normal tootling around). After the new kit on the drive home on a hot day last week (temp 27 deg C) the PSI3 quoted 27 and at one point 26. As well as that, following a post fitting 'spirited run' with Graham driving, we got back, popped the bonnet to a crackling toast cooking engine. You couldn't touch the engine as it was so hot yet the intercooler (still in the usual position) was cold to the touch.
