BANKS POWER 42792-N MONSTER-RAM TURBO INLET ELBOW - NATURAL

VEHICLE FITMENT FOR:
2017-2024 GM 6.6L DURAMAX L5P

DESCRIPTION
Replace the stock turbo inlet on your GM 6.6 Duramax L5P with the Banks Power 42792-N Monster-Ram Turbo Inlet Elbow - Natural. The Banks Monster-Ram Turbo Inlet outperforms stock without the destructive effects of turbo surge. Over a year in development, the Monster-Ram increases air mass flow to the compressor. This results in increased throttle response and a reduction in time to boost. Slower shaft speeds increase longevity and reliability of the turbocharger.

Turbo Induction Perfection
With 18 months of development and over 40 prototypes tested, the Banks Monster-Ram 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
Airflow is improved by removing stock restrictions at the turbo inlet while preventing destructive turbo compressor surge and maintaining emissions compliance. The propriety design reduces pressure loss at the compressor inlet which results in an impressive gain in Mass Airflow verses stock. Benefits include improved throttle response, lower shaft speed, and increased turbo life.

Superior Engineering
To improve airflow to your turbo, a large organic shape is used compared to stock. Cast from A356 Aluminum alloy with a natural finish, 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. With overall flow area increased, the turbo inlet side of the Monster-Ram was the most engineering intensive part to design.
The geometry of the anti-surge ring has been painstakingly engineered to direct reverse airflow back into the compressor wheel, thereby damping compressor surge. While it may seem simple to oversize this opening and increase airflow, a larger diameter outlet without the correct anti-surge geometry will result in compressor surge. Adding an anti-surge ring after-the-fact only restricts airflow. Banks tested large outlet diameter aftermarket elbows retrofitted with anti-surge rings showed a pressure drop equal to the factory intake elbow. In other words, it completely negated all airflow benefits, matching or underperforming stock.
