The Banks Monster-Ram Turbo Inlet for the 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 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.
Fitment Note
Works with Banks Ram-Air and stock intake systems.
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
- 18.67% less restrictive than stock
- Outflows stock by 11.9%
- Retains PCV geometry
- Cast aluminum
- Banks red powder coat
- Or Natural aluminum for custom coating
- CARB-EO in process
