Price History
AMS Performance designed this stock-location top-mount intercooler for every 2022+ Subaru WRX submodel with the FA24 turbo engine. Its cast end tanks feed a 21 x 7.5 x 4-inch bar-and-plate core; AMS advertises a 71 percent increase in core size and a 48.6-degree-Fahrenheit reduction in outlet temperature in its testing. The kit reuses the factory mounting location and installs without cutting or permanent modification. It works with the original charge pipe and most aftermarket pipes that retain the stock-style intercooler connection. This record is specifically for part AMS.50.09.0001-1. The intercooler does not change MAF scaling by itself, though any calibration should still match the complete engine hardware and boost targets.

Related FAQ answers that may help before you buy or install.
Check the exact intercooler and complete setup. PERRIN states that its 2022-2026 WRX top-mount and front-mount intercoolers do not require ECU recalibration, while also directing owners to match any tune to every installed modification.
Top-mount for almost every street VB, including a 300whp ethanol build. A front-mount is for big-turbo cars and sustained track use, and it brings more lag, more cost and a harder install.
AMS states that emissions-compliance testing is not complete and does not offer this product for California-registered pollution-controlled vehicles without its motorsports-use waiver. Check current local rules before purchase or installation.

More reliable than its reputation, and genuinely good as a daily. It is torque-limited rather than power-limited, so a tune must be shaped around holding torque back rather than chasing a peak figure.
