On the EJ platform specifically, the payoff is knock margin, since oil-contaminated charge air lowers effective octane on an engine whose ringlands do not forgive detonation. Fitment splits by engine family, with this 20-0607 serving the EJ cars listed and the separate FA-platform kit covering 2015+ WRX and Forester XT, so match the kit to the engine, not the badge year. As with any AOS in cold climates, insulating considerations apply where sustained freezing temperatures are routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKit Includes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Radium AOS-R air oil separator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll mounting hardware, hoses, and fittings needed to complete the installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2008-2014 Subaru Impreza WRX and WRX STI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2009-2013 Subaru Forester XT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2015-2021 Subaru WRX STI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2015+ WRX (FA20) and 2015+ FXT use the separate FA-platform kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Radium Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43672695636035,"sku":"20-0607","price":427.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/7754\/5539\/files\/radium-engineering-rad-20-0607-29454193459270_0f59ad88-ef54-4fc1-a3b3-857757977e72.jpg?v=1786717148","url":"https:\/\/www.tunedbyshawn.com\/products\/radium-engineering-air-oil-separator-return-kit-2015-2021-subaru-wrx-sti-20-0607","provider":"Tuned by Shawn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
