Just re-drill the screw holes on your old air vent, or fit a later type intercooler, it will fit the new scoop and be a good upgrade. Did this upgrade on my V2 STI with a V5 STI tmic and it runs so much cooler and is ready for future power upgrades!!

It's a bit of a squeeze and you'll need a set of samco hoses to restore the dump valve position. I had to hammer down the engine mount shroud and take a few mill of the throttle body, but apart from that no worries. I think there's a fitting guide on the forum aswell!!
