Banks intake or any other option?
Bigger turbo...
The bigger intake is not really a big gainer as far as Hp/$. Other than looking cool, it doesn't gain you much IMHO... If you think about all the bends in the pipe from the turbo through the intercooler and back, the elbow into the engine is not the restriction.. The intercooler has more to hold back than anything..
FWIW.
J-eh

If you do your own work the Banks intake is a pain in the rear. If a customer has a banks intake and it is in the way it must be removed and replaced this adds an extra $50.00 to the bill for no HP gain. If you want the looks OK but there is no HP gain to speak of. The high HP trucks don't need them so I don't either.
