In short it should fit if it's the same as 01-05... but a really big shoehorn is required.
It's alot larger and bracket wise u generally need to modify but it can be done. Alex from RMS and Joey are two i know who have them installed so. Second issue is with the splitter, with the larger intercooler u wont get the same seal (I think it has to sit higher) and ull only get air to a portion of the core with the stock splitter.

I'm looking at this option myself right now, but I'm sorta leaning to the new process west TMIC, simply because it comes with a new y-pipe, custom brackets, splitter and should be pretty comparable to the STI one.

Nah that's cheap chinese shit imo.... honestly wait until you can afford to do it properly.
I like to follow the motto I'm too poor not to do things right the first time.

Must say I never use the water spray. Dont see much difference drivng and getting to the button is hard enough while trying to drive with two hands while hurting it. Someone said ice in the tank would make it cold and more of a diff true?

ok, agree...get an sti TMIC..

but dont expect magically huge gains. You might get another 5kws? After alot of tuning..

so, for 500$ish you can get the sti TMIC, plus about 150$ tuning plus 100$ for a dyno pull....for 5kws...

I have to agree with MR2...they have done heaps of tests to show it works well! I'm sure you've seen the results on rexnet...

While all you guys are discussing bigger better intercoolers its pretty important to get the biggest scoop you can fit on to your WRX to get achieve gains as well.

Water + lots of air remember does the trick
