Save your money. The factory Donaldson filter/intake is MORE than adequate for the stock turbo. All the A/M intakes that claim more HP do so at RPM's that are way outside normal driving range of the truck.

X-3 on the intake and filter. AM's have also been known to dust the turbo.

LOL--OK. Again, save your money. I have a similar device on my truck only because it was free. It's nothing but bling. You'll see no performance increase or EGT reduction because the internals of the intake manifold are still the same and you can only get the same amount of air in it.
