No the STI intercooler is larger, hence price difference

yep the STI intercooler is different to the WRX item, but there sill isn't such a thing as a 'Prodrive intercooler'! I think your just getting confused with the STI item and the Prodrive Performance Pack that came as an option.

The Prodrive Performance Pack didn't change the intercooler itself, just added a Prodrive silicone connecting hose. Fat Thomas from Romania knows his stuff

Try using the search function on here, quite a few people have asked where to start with mods on your model over the years. Bit of research would go a long way
