Ok so. It fits. But it’s much easier if you already have the intake manifold off the engine as I did. Still a tight fit but it does fit. The quality is top notch and all the fittings are high quality. Best way to install is to take intake manifold off and replace the gaskets while you’re in there. Paint it like I did and then reassemble. I can’t imagine trying to squeeze that thing in there without doing that. Worth the money and works great. Won’t throw a CEL Either.

Bought this for my 2002 Subaru Impreza Wrx (turbocharged 2.0L) at 107k miles. I had originally purchased the oem part from Subaru, but decided against it because I didn't feel like removing the entire intake manifold and read that this one meant I didn't have to. Mishimoto's website has an instructional video for installing the part, which was pretty helpful, but also a little misleading as to the amount of effort it takes to wedge the thing in there. You need to use a hacksaw to cut out the old part too... there's no going back from then on. The power steering pump and the ignition cables to the spark plugs were very much in the way and it took two of us to finally get the piece in place. Used a couple of long thick flathead screwdrivers as pry-bars to maneuver it and attach it to the port at the base of the top-mount intercooler. Otherwise a great part. I don't have anything to measure the horsepower or efficiency or anything, so I can't tell you how much it's improved performance, but it seems like its going to outlast the rest of the engine.A word of caution: your old hoses will likely be cracked or will be slightly the wrong size for the connectors on this part. It is very well made, but the ports seem slightly larger than their plastic counterparts on the old part I removed. The part itself is much thicker than the oem, so the hose ports are not quite in the same positions, which leads to some awkwardness if you don't replace those hoses too. Also, this part is NOT compatible with the oem hose that connects the original part to the air filter box. You need to buy that from Mishimoto as well (it was not on Amazon when I bought this part), which I then had to cut down to size because it was 1.5" too long at one end. Finally, I'd recommend replacing your spring clamps with screw clamps. It'll save you a lot of pain.

I certainly would recommend this to any owner of a 2003 Impreza wrx with high miles that hasn't had the intake piping replaced. I would recommend having a avid subaru technician install it. It is simply not an easy installation unless you remove the full intake plenum. Be prepared to purchase all the surrounding hoses and vaccum lines from the dealership. All are going to be brittle and hard and will break upon removing the old pipe. After the installation was complete it works great. Its certainly a strudy pipe and made of robust materials. If you attempt this installation without removing the plenum good luck to you..I also purchased the mishimoto intercooler pipng kit along with this. Great Buy

Super tight squeeze if you dont remove the manifold. But overall great product.

This is a bit of a mixed review actually. Shipping was extremely quick! Description matched. and it is a quality product!This is where its mixed.Double check item description for year and type of vehicle. I must have read the product title to quickly and in turn ended up ordering the wrong product. i have a 2011 WRX not an STI. meaning the intake doesn't fit. Product title should omit years and use a vehicle match to avoid future confusion.The install is time consuming more than difficult. I am a service mechanic for industrial machinery so i feel that i have a fairly good grasp on what to do/ how to do the install. However, both bolts attaching the top mount inter-cooler to the turbo were seized, needing to be drilled out. i wish i would've realized i bought the wrong item before tearing the car apart.In the end:if you have some technical skill, id say give it a shot. Give yourself about 6 hours to do the install just for the event of any hassles.

I'm a not a professional mechanic, but I'm handy, and I do a lot of work on my cars. Despite all of the bad reviews of Mishimoto's hoses, I thought this turbo intake tube would be a safe bet. After watching Mishimoto's installation video, I knew something was off. The video skipped all of the insanely difficult parts, and made no mention of the front hose end being too long to fit the airbox, the oversized OD of the hose having to compete with both the power steering pressure line and the left TGV motor for space, nor the fact that the turbo inlet end is both too long, and not centered with the turbo. There are also no instructions on their website. I pulled the IM, and even with a totally clear path to run the intake tube, it was still too fat to fit underneath the IM without a major fight. The auxiliary vacuum tubes were also located where OEM parts existed. Unless you're already an expert with the vacuum lines, you'll be spending some time figuring out where they go. As an engineer, I would be ashamed to work on a team like Mishimoto who can't get their production designs right, and pass the mistakes and pain on to their customers. I emailed them twice to see if they have an adapter that will connect this intake pipe to my factory intake box, and received no replies. I ended up having to mold a platinum-cure silicone gasket to make their intake tube fit my airbox.I'll start pulling the IM back out this weekend (which I just finished re-installing today). This time, I'll install the properly engineered factory intake tube. Now that I've finally installed oil catch cans, I won't have to worry about the factory turbo intake tube disintegrating again over 275k miles. I also seriously doubt Mishimoto used proper fluorosilicone for their intake tube, as I don't see a liner in the super thick wall of the tube.

The Mishimoto turbo inlet hose is a great replacement / upgrade for the stock inlet on our 2002 Wrx!Very nice packaging, comes with a fancy t-bolt clamp for the turbo with a mishimoto "M" engraved on it. As well as all the other hose clamps you need to install the auxiliary fittings.The hose is much larger in diameter than the oem hose and is very difficult to install with the intake manifold on... the job took around 10 hours with two people pushing, shoving, prying (and crying). However this is to no fault of the product, the oem hose is just as difficult to remove as the new one is to install.The car feels fantastic now and the boost comes on very steady and strong even when shifting through gears. where as the old one was leaking everytime the BOV recirculated.Most of the auxiliary fittings are tight and pressing up against things but honestly the Ej205 is kind of a joke when it comes to having space for things. Its pretty acceptable fitment.100% recommend. Although i think there should be a rebate for the install labour haha.
