WRX or STI?

Is this a WRX or STI ?

Attachment 14591

Thanks!

Wrx

07 WRX to be specific. Wide intercooler, airpump, dog leg fuse box, and windshield washer tank in the fender make it 06/07. The large wiring harness over by the passenger strut tower makes it an 07. With some expensive camber plates too.

with an aftermarket BOV right?

Just to add..What make it NOT an STI...

Plastic intercooler - as STIs had an all aluminum one. ('02-'05 2.0 WRXs did also)
Raw 'silver' intake manifold - STIs had red painted intake manifolds.

Yes, aftermarket blowoff valve.

Thanks all!

Is it so much differences betwen STi & WRX motor & transmission that it won't work for 818?

STI come with a 6-speed. It is longer than a 5-speed so it won't fit.

Motor will work, still 6 speed won't as mentioned. The 06+ wrx are all 2.5l blocks with Avcs like the sti.

yes - so unless it was driven hard, it likely has some carbon buildup in the engine too.

OP: This picture is from an 07 WRX with 75K miles on it and is currently in Little Rock, AR.

Would this be a WRX with after market FMIC, .. ?
