That will be the RS liberty water to air intercooler, the WRX has a top mounted air to air intercooler. I own an RS liberty, the WAIC is okay, but nothing flash. There are some upgrades that can be done, but overall they do limit power to about 190kw at all four wheels.

Seen a few cheap pumps around the place from time to time just I've never been quite there in time. Saw a Davies Craig a while ago for $60 but missed by that much. One will turn up and the pump price will be the determining factor in how cheap I can build it. If I can get a suitable pump for under $100 then sub $300 is possible I think.
Interesting after looking at a couple of sites provided above most wate rot air units seem to run the water inside the tubes and the air over the fins which is opposite to air to air and opposite therefore to the way I was going. Have seen articles however on simple ones being done with just replacing the airflow in the traditional path with water.
The Liberty EJ20 motor is only 2.0L, the amount of flow required to feed a bigger engine will mean that the power potential is lowered.
