The GrimmSpeed Top Mount Intercooler for the 2008-2014 Subaru WRX replaces the factory TMIC on the EJ255 platform with a larger-core unit that provides improved charge cooling under sustained boost conditions. A direct bolt-in replacement with no modification required.

DETAILS

• Larger core than OEM
• Improved charge cooling efficiency
• Direct bolt-in replacement
• Maintains stock charge pipe routing
• Color: Silver
• Fitment: 2008-2014 Subaru WRX EJ255

The EJ255 WRX generates significant heat in the engine bay, and the factory TMIC is positioned directly above it. Under repeated boost events or sustained hard driving, the factory unit heats soak and charge air temperatures climb , the result is reduced power and inconsistent response. The GrimmSpeed TMIC provides more core volume to manage those temperatures.

Installation uses the factory TMIC mounting points and charge pipe connections. No cutting, welding, or custom work is required. GrimmSpeed’s TMIC is a bolt-on upgrade that can be installed with hand tools in an afternoon.
