Looks like a stock Procharger IC for a truck, not very large.

i'd highly recommend the 4", the reason why is because i've noticed with this 3" when i put the bumper on there is a much larger gap than i ever wanted between the mouth and the core. the extra inch would help combat this.
pics of gap here

i wouldn't suggest cutting out the entire mouth either but since my bumper was already messed up from hitting a parking block it didn't really matter to me

bumper on and open




lots of gap here (suggestions to fill gap would be appreciated)


I kept the factory grill to put over if i'm not out doing any agressive driving.

i've actually not been paying much attention to this because i still need a turbo blanket. with the tti kit the turbo sits under the driver side manifold and basically heat soaks the ic piping that passes almost directly over it anyway. and i've only driven it twice since i put it on.

You really butchered that bumper up. I wouldn't have trimmed any of that out.

He said it was already damaged so he didn't care.

Looks good. Those ebay intercoolers perform well for the money.
