DESCRIPTION

Taking a fresh approach formed from years of motorsport and component design experience, Process West proudly introduces the Verti-Cooler, a slant-mount intercooler system engineered for the 2015–2021 Subaru WRX. With rapid air-charge cooling and flow-path efficiency as the key objectives, the Verti-Cooler redefines Subaru intercooler performance, delivering lower intake temperatures and improved engine durability.

Verti-Cooler utilizes a large, free-flowing Process West bar-and-plate core (400mm flow length x 205mm stack height x 120mm thick), mounted at a 15-degree near-vertical angle in the engine bay. This positioning works with a specially designed hood duct that force-feeds cold air directly onto the intercooler. The heated air is then efficiently evacuated through the engine bay and out the transmission tunnel eliminating the heat-soak and airflow restrictions seen in traditional top-mount designs.

Compared to the tight 90-degree airflow turn of the stock system, this shallow, low-restriction path dramatically improves thermal efficiency and power potential. With the largest volume of any aftermarket intercooler for the 2015–2021 WRX, the Verti-Cooler delivers serious cooling capacity without requiring a front-mount upgrade.

WHY?

The Process West Verti-Cooler isn't just another top-mount solution. It’s a complete reimagining of how intercooling should work on the FA20 WRX platform. By optimizing airflow both in and out of the core, it achieves results closer to a front-mount system without the complexity, lag, or fabrication. Installation is straightforward with no need for cutting or modification, and everything required for the job is included. Whether you're tracking your WRX or daily driving in hot climates, the Verti-Cooler delivers consistent power and performance, run after run.
