cp-e Delta Core Top Mount Intercooler 2015-2021 WRX | Large 13.23"x10.38"x4" Core | High-Efficiency TMIC
Overview
The cp-e Delta Core Top Mount Intercooler (TMIC) is a precision-engineered upgrade designed specifically for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRC. This intercooler replaces the factory unit to provide substantially lower and more consistent charge air temperatures, which is critical for maintaining power and reliability under increased boost and tuning. Ideal for enthusiasts looking to push their Subaru’s performance without sacrificing drivability, this TMIC supports higher horsepower builds while fitting directly into the stock location with no vehicle modifications required.
cp-e’s design philosophy centers on maximizing core size and efficiency within the constraints of the OEM mounting points. The Delta Core TMIC features a large 13.23" x 10.38" x 4.00" bar and plate core combined with fully cast end tanks that are engineered to reduce turbulence and pressure drop. The cast-in-place brackets ensure a bolt-in fitment that works seamlessly with the factory intercooler piping, allowing for incremental upgrades to the intake system as power demands increase.
For Subaru owners, this intercooler delivers real-world benefits by improving thermal efficiency and reducing turbo lag often associated with larger aftermarket intercoolers. The internal flow design promotes even air distribution through the core, enhancing cooling performance across the entire surface area. This results in more consistent intake temperatures, better throttle response, and safer tuning margins for high-output WRX builds.
