Mishimoto Top Mount Intercooler Black 2019-2025 Ascent / 2020-2023 Outback XT / 2020-2023 Legacy XT

The Subaru Ascent, Outback XT, and Legacy XT perfectly blend daily drivability with rally-inspired performance. Spacious, comfortable, and equipped with the potent 2.4L turbocharged FA24 engine, these models are primed for performance upgrades. One of the most effective upgrades for the 2019+ Ascent or 2020+ Legacy XT and Outback XT is the Mishimoto Performance Top-Mount Intercooler, designed to help your FA24 breathe cooler, denser air under boost.

This top-mount intercooler replaces the stock plastic end tanks with durable cast-aluminum units and a high-flow bar-and-plate core that is 88 percent larger than stock. The increased core volume allows over 40 percent better airflow, reducing strain on your turbo while pushing more cold air into the engine. The fin surface area is 76 percent larger than stock, improving heat transfer and keeping outlet temperatures within 10 degrees of ambient. A pre-drilled and tapped 1/8-NPT port allows easy installation of boost or temperature sensors.The kit comes complete with everything needed for installation, and the black powder-coat finish complements any engine bay.
