Process West Verticooler Top Mount Intercooler

Taking a fresh approach formed from years of motorsport and component design experience, Process West are proud to announce the new ‘VertiCooler’ slant mount intercooler system of the G3 series (2008-2014) WRX. Designed and engineered with rapid air-charge cooling and flow-path efficiency as the key objectives, VertiCooler is a revolutionary take on Subaru intercooler design that takes turbocharger cooling to a new and previously un-seen level, guaranteeing the best performance and improved engine durability.

VertiCooler combines the advantages of a large and free-flowing Process West core with a design that mounts the new intercooler at a 15 degree, near vertical angle in the engine bay. Packaged with a new hood duct design that force-feeds external airflow straight onto the intercooler fins, there is now a highly efficient air exit path courtesy of the VertiCooler mounting angle that flows all of this (now heated) air back down through the engine bay and out the underside of the car through the transmission tunnel for a shallow, cool, and low restriction exit-path. Compare then the near on 90 degree angle that the air must turn with the stock intercooler setup in place, and the advantages of the Process West VertiCooler design become clear. Verticooler also has the largest volume of any aftermarket intercooler for the GR WRX with core measurements of 400mm flow length x 205mm stack height x 120mm thick.
