1. The main purpose of getting a big ass front mount intercooler on a Subaru is to be able to increase boost substantially. Plus the stock top mount is prone to heat soak, resulting in less power.

2. The piping is installed and makes a V shape inside the engine.

3. We connect the driver side first since the pipe has to snake doan and around the car.

4. The SpeedLab kit comes with all required bolts brackets and clamps.

5. We then install the pipes on the passenger side.

6. The metal bumper support had to be cut away in the middle to make way for the intercooler. We then bolt back the support on both sides.

7. Here's a better view of the bumper support.

8. The piping comes flanged for HKS SSQV. The reason for this is due to the SSQV's compact size, so as no to hit the hood when closed.

9. Here's the installed blow off valve and piping.

10. You will be required to use an open type filter when installing a front mount since the piping is in the way. A K&N or HKS filter will do nicely.

11. For bug-eyed subies, the black part of the bumper has to be trimmed away. The last generation GD Subarus have the black trim removal.

12. We still managed to install the stock foglights on the Subaru. And here's the final menacing look.
