Positioned directly over the turbocharger and engine block, the factory core quickly succumbs to radiant heat soak during continuous boost cycles or aggressive driving. Additionally, the thin factory core and restrictive internal fin density create high pressure drop across the intercooler, choking airflow to the throttle body and causing the factory \u003cstrong\u003eEJ255\u003c\/strong\u003e to pull ignition timing to prevent pre-detonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis upgraded unit incorporates a high-density bar-and-plate aluminum core engineered for superior thermal inertia and heat rejection. By significantly increasing core thickness over stock, internal airflow volume increases while lowering intake air temperatures (IATs). Cast aluminum end tanks ensure balanced air distribution across all cooling channels without the risk of crimp failures under high boost. The core features a durable black heat-dissipating finish, retains the factory blow-off valve (BOV) flange footprint, and drops directly into the OEM top-mount bracketry without requiring custom ducting modifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Upgraded Bar-and-Plate Top-Mount Intercooler (Black Finish)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100% style=\" border-collapse: collapse border: solid font-size: min-width:\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2009-2013 Subaru Forester\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEJ255\u003c\/strong\u003e (2.5L Turbo) \/ \u003cstrong\u003eSH\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e224 hp \/ 226 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e03CSI090ABK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2009-2013 Subaru Forester XT 2.5L Turbo (EJ25 \/ EJ255)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the SH Forester?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct bolt-on top-mount replacement for the 2009-2013 Subaru Forester XT equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eEJ255\u003c\/strong\u003e turbo engine; it does not fit naturally aspirated 2.5X non-turbo models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I reuse my factory blow-off valve?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this intercooler features an OEM-spec flange that accepts the factory bypass valve or any aftermarket blow-off valve utilizing the stock mounting pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Subaru Tuning Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for modified boxer platforms, this upgraded intercooler provides the density and flow capacity required to deliver dense, cool air charges for reliable forced-induction power output.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67940574560504,"sku":"DS-EE7HCM0B6","price":242.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/intercooler-for-subaru-forester-2009-2013-2-5l-1.jpg?v=1793658659","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/de\/products\/intercooler-for-subaru-forester-2009-2013-2-5l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
