Thanks for this very detailed walkthrough. I need to do this to install a pitch stop mount and a lot of pitch stop mount tutorials really gloss over this part.

do you have a video on how to set the right position for a silicone for the wrx impresa 2012 model? I´ve tried different ways and its not working.

have you got lot of oil at the exit of youre turbo to youre intercooler?

The 08 intercooler is so small compared to an 11 or 14 I doubt you need to remove it to install the downpipe? Nice video btw.

You will not need to remove it to remove the downpipe. The 09 wrx was the first year of the 265hp version. 08s different turbo I believe too. I've removed my downpipe many times without touching the intercooler.

Gota question. I have a 14 WRX. What I noticed while removing mine is that there was a hose (vacuum hose in assuming) but I don’t where it belongs to. Do you know what it might be? P.s. it wasn’t the hose that wasn’t the hose attached to the BPV.

If you follow the hose where does it go to? Hard to say. Probably not related to the intercooler. Only vac line is to the bpv. But where does this vac line go to? Can you follow It?

I know it's been a year since you asked this question, but yes: that's exactly right.

correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this be a perfect video for those who wish to clean out their Throttle Body? (asking for a friend) :)

@ecpoirier 3 жыл бұрын

TIP: if you remove the rubber "Coupler" (2:19), you'll gain some sort of tight access to your throttle body. now would be a good time to clean that out. I found other video's confusing, because their throttle body was located right under intercooler, but with my 2010 WRX, it was buried, just a bit further down. I'm not all that mechanical, so if I can do it, anyone can. P.S. To make removing intercooler easier, I removed driver's side bracket that held the 12mm bolt, freeing up some additional space to remove, it was secured with 2 more 12mm bolts, closer to the plastic intake manifold.
