BANKS POWER MONSTER RAM TURBO INLET ELBOW NATURAL & RED 42792 | 2017-2026 6.6L DURAMAX L5P

Improve airflow into the turbocharger on your GM 6.6L Duramax L5P with the Banks Power Monster-Ram Turbo Inlet Elbow. Designed to replace the restrictive factory turbo inlet, the Monster-Ram increases airflow to the compressor while maintaining carefully engineered anti-surge characteristics for safe, responsive turbocharger operation.

The Monster-Ram features a 17% larger turbo inlet and provides up to 11.9% greater airflow, 18.67% less restriction, and 23% greater gulp capacity compared to the factory inlet. Reducing pressure loss ahead of the compressor allows the turbocharger to move more air with less effort, helping improve throttle response and reduce the time required to build boost. Banks also reports an 11% reduction in turbo drive pressure and reduced turbocharger shaft speed, which can help decrease stress on the turbocharger.

Extensive development went into the turbo-side geometry, including the inlet shape and integrated anti-surge ring. Rather than simply increasing outlet diameter, Banks engineered the ported-shroud interface to redirect reverse airflow back toward the compressor wheel and control compressor surge without unnecessarily restricting incoming airflow.

Cast from A356 aluminum alloy, the Monster-Ram provides OE-quality strength, fit, and durability. The design retains the factory PCV connection geometry for compatibility with the vehicle's air-oil separation system and maintains emissions-compliant functionality.
