Banks Monster-Ram Turbo Inlet Elbow 2017-2026 Chevy/GMC L5P Duramax

The Banks Monster-Ram Turbo Inlet for the 2017-2026 Duramax L5P is the only intake elbow that outperforms stock without the destructive effects of turbo surge, caused by competitors. More than a year in development, the Monster-Ram® increases air density to the compressor. This results in slower turbo shaft speed and a reduction in time to boost. With slower shaft speeds, throttle response is improved, and turbo life is increased.

Key Features:
- Improved throttle response
- Reduced turbo shaft speed
- Increased turbo life (thanks to reduced shaft speed)
- 11% lower turbo drive pressure
- 23% greater Gulp Capacity™ (volume)
- 17% larger turbo inlet size
- 18.7% less restrictive than stock
- 11.9% increase in mass air flow over stock
- Retains PCV geometry
- Cast aluminum
- Banks red powder coat or natural aluminum for custom coating
- Works with Banks Ram-Air and stock intake systems
- 50-State Emission Compliant CARB-EO D-161-158

Turbo Induction Perfection
With 18 months of development and over 40 prototypes tested, the Banks Monster-Ram® for the Duramax L5P is more than just attractive. It's turbo induction perfection. The Monster-Ram fills every millimeter of available space within the L5P's compact V8 layout improving airflow and density at the turbo inlet.

Every facet from inlet and outlet size, orientation and location of the PCV connection, and down to the angle of the ported shroud interface had to be dialed into exact tolerances. Mass Air Flow has been improved by almost 12% by removing stock restrictions at the turbo inlet all while preventing destructive turbo compressor surge and maintaining emissions compliance.

Superior Engineering
To improve airflow to your turbo, the Monster-Ram® uses a large organic shape compared to stock which pinches down near the turbo inlet. This smooths out the airflow entering the turbo, improving efficiency and turbo response.

Cast from A356 Aluminum alloy and finished in Banks red powder coat or available in natural aluminum for custom coating, the Monster-Ram® offers OE quality fit, finish, and durability. Areas on the factory inlet that choke down are widened. Abrupt changes to that airflow have been smoothed to provide the least resistance and pressure loss.
