The Banks Monster-Ram Turbo Inlet for the 2017-2024 Duramax L5P is the only intake elbow that outperforms stock without the destructive effects of turbo surge. More than a year in development, the Monster-Ram increases air mass flow 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.
Works with Banks Ram-Air and stock intake systems.
- Maximum safe performance with no turbo surge
- 23% Greater Gulp Capacity™ (volume)
- 17% Larger turbo inlet size
- 18.67% Less restriction vs stock
- Outflows stock by 11.9%
- Retains PCV geometry for air-oil separator
- OE-quality aluminum casting
- Banks red powder coat
- Or Natural aluminum for custom coating
- 50-state CARB-EO pending
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.
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 in to exacting 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.
All other designs we found on the market and tested aginst, either outflow stock at the expense of your turbo and emission systems, or flow less than stock by the time they are restrict back down with an inferior anti surge design.
The Monster-Ram's propriety design reduces pressure loss by 18.67% at the compressor inlet which results in an impressive 6.01lb/min gain in Mass Airflow verses stock. Benefits include improved throttle response, lower shaft speed, and increased turbo life.
