AMS Performance 2015+ Subaru WRX FA20 Front Mount Intercooler Piping and Hardware Kit

AMS Performance is a Chicago-based manufacturer specializing in high-performance parts for turbocharged vehicles, with particular depth in Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Subaru WRX and STI, Nissan GT-R, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz turbocharged platforms. AMS products include intercoolers, intake systems, turbocharger kits, exhaust systems, boost controllers, and engine internals developed in-house and validated on AMS's own competition and development vehicles. Popular AMS Performance Products AMS Performance's product range includes the AMS Alpha series front-mount intercooler kits for the Mitsubishi Evo and Nissan GT-R, the AMS turbocharger upgrade kits for the Evo X and GT-R platforms, the AMS catback and turbo-back exhaust systems, intake kits and air box systems for the GT-R and EvoX, downpipe and midpipe kits, and the AMS oil cooler and oil catch can systems for high-mileage turbocharged builds. AMS also builds complete turn-key GT-R packages for customers seeking integrated, dyno-pr...

Forced induction systems encompass every method of pushing air into an engine at greater than atmospheric pressure, including turbochargers driven by exhaust energy, superchargers driven mechanically by the crankshaft, and prochargers using centrifugal designs belt-driven at higher ratios than traditional roots-type blowers, with each approach delivering a significant increase in air mass per cylinder fill that allows proportionally more fuel to be burned and more power to be produced without increasing engine displacement. Adding 10 PSI of boost pressure to a naturally aspirated engine can increase power output by 50 to 70 percent depending on the engine's breathing efficiency and the quality of the supporting hardware, making forced induction the most power-dense modification available relative to cost and complexity. This collection covers complete forced induction systems, turbocharger and supercharger hardware, intercoolers, blow-off valves, wastegates, and supporting component...

Intercooler components let you build, upgrade, or repair your charge cooling system without replacing the entire intercooler assembly. Quality piping, silicone couplers, mounting brackets, and core upgrades make a meaningful difference in keeping intake temperatures low on high-boost builds and daily-driven turbocharged vehicles alike. Popular Upgrades Frequently ordered intercooler components include upgraded silicone coupler hose kits to replace cracked or blow-off-prone rubber hoses, intercooler core upgrades for higher bar-and-plate or tube-and-fin density, aluminum intercooler piping sets that replace restrictive OEM plastic pipes, and universal mounting brackets for custom intercooler positioning on fabricated builds. What causes intercooler components to fail? The most common intercooler component failure points are silicone or rubber couplers that crack or split under repeated heat cycling, plastic OEM piping that becomes brittle over time, and mounting brackets that fatigue...

Intercooler pipe kits replace the factory plastic or thin-walled metal charge pipes that connect the turbocharger outlet to the intercooler and the intercooler to the throttle body. Upgraded aluminum or stainless steel pipe kits eliminate common boost leak points while improving airflow through larger diameter and smoother bends compared to OEM routing. Popular Upgrades Best-selling pipe kit upgrades include mandrel-bent aluminum intercooler pipe kits for popular turbocharged platforms including the Ford Mustang EcoBoost, Focus ST, Subaru WRX, Evo X, and Volkswagen GTI, silicone coupler connector kits for pairing with existing pipes, and stainless steel charge pipe upgrades for high-boost diesel truck applications. Why do factory intercooler pipes fail? Factory intercooler pipes on many turbocharged vehicles are made from molded plastic or thin stamped aluminum that was engineered for stock boost levels. When boost pressure is increased through a tune or turbo upgrade, these pipes a...
