If you can get your hands on one cheap then it would probably be worth it. I have seen them go in the $200 range which in my opion you can get better intercoolers for that amount or equal ones for cheaper. My friend only dislikes his intercooler(has a WRX) b/c it is top mount. If your are plannig to top mount it in your celica i thikn it would be sweet(make that scoop functional) and would work well for low boost aplications. Some WRX's change to FMIC, although i dont think it is because the stock one is not good.

fmic should keep your charge air cooler since it won't get soaked with heat from the engine.

dont think that the WRX intercooler will be easy to mount up front. how much room you have? you might want to look into a starion/conquest intercooler, they are a pretty inexpensive option. and i have one for sale on ebay
