Well the blob sti to blob wrx needs work, so i presume the hawk will be the same.

Someone who has done the intercooler upgrade themselves will be along shortly......

I think it's just the hose and splitter thingamabob.

I wouldn't change the injectors unless mapping afterwards. The fueling could all be to pot.

These kinda questions might get better responses in General Technical.

GT = techies, SG = tetchies.

Aren't the intercoolers on the Hawk a lot smaller than on the Blob?

hi mate,

they are different, but i have an 05 blob eye sti intercooler, which doesnt fit my hawkeye, so if you wanted to swap then could do

the one i have is mint inc all hoses.

its because the hawkeye has drive by wire throttle, so the MY05 blob is different.

pm me

cheers

Yeah, my local garage (a pal of Andy F's) told me that.

Best to go for 02 to 05 Sti intercooler.
