Ingalls PowerStick™ Pitch Mount For 2002-2006 Subaru Impreza WRX and STi
The PowerStick™ Pitch Mount is engineered to reduce deflection under hard acceleration and cornering for
improved performance and power to weight transfer. Deflection in the motor mounts, as with the chassis and
suspension, is a formidable enemy in power and weight transfer, robbing valuable horsepower and control. The
innovative “dog bone” or pitch mount replacement eliminates the huge amounts of movement and “torque shock” that
causes wheel-hop and vague power transfer. The PowerStick™ transfers more power to the road and improves
acceleration, shifting, overall control and balance.
CAUTION: Observe proper safety and repair procedures for installation of all chassis parts. Some chassis parts require specialized tools and experience and
therefore MUST be installed by a qualified technician otherwise an unsafe vehicle and/or personal injury could result. Wear safety glasses and other protection.
WARNING: Before beginning, check for any damaged or loose suspension connections. Loose connections here indicate worn or broken parts which MUST
BE REPLACED. Failure to replace a damaged or worn spindle and/or link may cause the wheel to separate from the vehicle, possibly resulting in serious
personal injury. Installer MUST check for proper clearance. Modification(s) may be required. Please proceed ONLY if the vehicle owner is completely aware of
these potential suspension modifications.

Installation:
1. Under the hood, locate the intercooler and remove the three 8mm bolts that secure the EGR lines to the front of
the intercooler as shown in illustration 1.
2. Remove the two 8mm bolts that mount the turbo bypass valve to the intercooler as shown in illustration 2.
3. Remove the 8mm bolts that mount the intercooler to the OEM mounting brackets as shown in illustration 3.
4. Loosen the hose clamp on the intercooler discharge tube as shown in illustration 4.
5. Loosen the hose clamp on the intercooler inlet tube as shown in illustration 5.
6. Remove the intercooler. Note: This can be tricky… try pulling back, and to the right on the cooler to pull the
cooler off the aluminum inlet housing and rubber discharge tubing. Refer to illustration 6.
7. Locate the OEM “Dog Bone” pitch mount at the rear of the engine and remove the 10mm bolts, washers and nuts
at each end of the mount as shown in illustration 7. Remove the OEM mount from the vehicle.
8. On a table or workbench, assemble the PowerStick™ Pitch Mount as shown in illustration 8. Note: There are
left hand and right hand threads on the center tube. If you try to thread the rod end or forging and it will not
thread into the tube, turn over the tube and try the other end. Some PowerSticks™ may be pre-assembled when
you receive them. They may not be set to the correct length though.
