Great video 👍. I just removed mine on my 22 WRX to clean the throttle body. The clip and bolts make it more secure against leaking. I had the pipe going to the Intercooler pop out on the highway 😬on my 2018 WRX and had to coast into a parking lot to fix it. I had never it apart before. It was super sketchy to loose boost with a big truck behind me!

It was an easy removal. The new clip design Subaru utilizes makes it much simpler.

Hard to say. It is in development. Engineers are working on it as we speak.

Still curious why Subaru never went front mount i/c to really drive home a lower center of gravity. Sure, the scoop is cool but not all turbo Subarus have them. Yes, the top of the engine would look plain-ish, but a front mount (even a skinny one) would perform better than the top mount.

It's probably a little overkill for Subaru to do a oem Front Mount. Plus added weight to the front of the car. Isn't the best solution for the average driver.

@@GrimmSpeed... 🤔 or it might have to do w/front crash standards (Japan vs US) and a front mount would require extra protection. It might also have to do w/packaging and bumper design. Or, lastly, assembly line process as the engine would go in first, then all the pipes/tubes/cooler in afterwards. W/Subaru, you can never really tell. Shoot, even VW put a small i/c just in front of the right front tire in the MK4 GTIs making a front mount a relatively easy upgrade. 🏁
