Default Intercooler size for 08 silverado

I'm learning as I go. I'm looking for a intercooler for 08 silverado 5.3 with a 369sxe turbo. A kit would be nice but I can weld the piping. I see the sizes vary as well as the prices. I've read a ton but still unsure. Thanks for the help

As much as I can and still be reliable. So if I need a bigger one to start with that makes the most sense I guess. Hoping for 700

With that turbo being your limiter, my standard intercooler kit, ($800, w/50mm bov plus shipping) would be enough. It's a 27x11x3 CX Racing unit.

The turbo being limiter as in as much power as your going to be able to squeeze out of your setup with that turbo tgat it will support the intercooler he mentioned will be enough to meet your needs is what I believe he is telling you
