DETAILS
Add a consistent 5+ wheel horsepower with the largest Top Mounted Intercooler on the market! We pushed every dimension to make this the best TMIC for your WRX!
Quick Details:
Replaces OEM Boost Tube
The PERRIN TMIC is designed to remove the restrictive OEM plastic tube and create a more efficient connection from the charge pipe to the intercooler. The PERRIN intercooler converts the factory air path with two 90-degree turns into a single smooth pathway distributed evenly over the entire intercooler.
Dyno Proven
Rated well over 600 WHP, the PERRIN cores extra-large cross-section and cooler charge temps will add an easy 5 WHP and keep up with all your performance upgrades.
It's Huge!
The PERRIN TMIC is 12% larger than the nearest competitor's core. The larger core means less restriction and better cooling capabilities for more horsepower. Our core size is 21.87" wide x 7.64" deep x 3.95" thick making the volume just over 660 cubic inches!
Design
The PERRIN Intercooler Core is 75% larger than the stock intercooler, offering a high-flow design and delivering consistent horsepower gains. The PERRIN End Tanks minimize air turbulence with smooth pathways, resulting in increased horsepower. With stainless-steel inserts, the threaded mounting holes provide easy installation and superior holding power.
Core Construction
The 3/8” bar and plate design is more durable than the traditional tube and fin and more free-flowing than other cores.
Intercooler Finish
Every PERRIN Intercooler Core features a powder coat finish to protect your intercooler from the elements.
Perfect Match
The Top Mount Intercooler is designed to fit perfectly with the PERRIN Strut Brace! Have fitment questions? Send us an email at Tech@PERRIN.com.
Pressure Testing
PERRIN is one of the only intercooler manufacturers who pressure test every intercooler to 50 psi. Even the slightest leak can bleed turbo-boost pressure out of the intercooler and cause your vehicle to lose power.
Stencil
A free PERRIN logo intercooler stencil comes in every box! Simply peel, stick, and paint to easily add a PERRIN logo across the top of your TMIC.
No Tuning Required
Increase horsepower and torque without ECU recalibration or tune! This part is designed and tested to work safely on your vehicle without any tuning required! However, more power can be gained with proper ECU tuning! Confirm any tune or recalibration you add is specific for ALL modifications added to the vehicle. Questions? Contact Tech@PERRIN.com.
I installed this along with the perrin charge pipe and grimspeed pitch stop. The entire job took about 2-2.5 hours. Don't let the grinding scare you, it took me about 5 minutes with a dremel and carbide burr. I already had a dmann tune prior to install, so the power gain wasn't really noticeable, but watching the Manifold air Temps on my ap, the oe tmic was about 15-20 degrees above ambient at 18psi, with the perrin they are only about 5 degrees above ambient. Boost response at part throttle is a little less violent due to the volume of the core, which is actually nice when powering through a turn. Makes the car a bit more predictable.
Michael,
It sounds like the Perrin Top Mount Intercooler is making a big difference in cooling and overall drivability for you! Dropping your manifold air temps by that much is impressive, and it's great that the install process wasn't too daunting, even with the grinding involved. It’s also cool that the boost response feels more controlled during turns, making the car more predictable. It sounds like you have a solid setup! We appreciate your 5 Star Review!

I was hesitant because of the plastic notching, but glad I went this rout. The plastic notch isn’t noticeable, and easy to do. Getting rid of all of the plastic charge pipe was the goal. Looks great in black, engine bay doesn’t stand out
Joe,
We appreciate your 5 Star Review of the Perrin TMIC! It is a massive upgrade from OEM and provides amazing preformance. We understand notching the plastic to mount the new intercooler can be a bit daunting however as you said it is easy to do and cannot be seen! Enjoy!

First product arrived damaged and missing parts but Subimods was quick to resolve the issue. It is a little surprising that it made it through quality control as a returned item and just sent back out... That aside, still a 5 star review, product is exactly what I wanted and looks great!

Looks incredible and requires just a tad of plastic trimming from intake manifold to install. Great product and very happy
Todd,
Thank you for your 5 Star Review and added pics of the Perrin Top Mount Intercooler for the 2022-2023 WRX. This intercooler is definitely visually impressive, and the installation process is relatively smooth, with, as you said, only requiring a minor adjustment with plastic trimming from the intake manifold. Your satisfaction with the product and its installation process is greatly appreciated and will undoubtedly assist others considering this upgrade. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with the Perrin Top Mount Intercooler.
Regards,
never really had an issue with Perrin parts. only thing that was sketchy to me was grinding down some of the plastic on the manifold other than that all good.
