Rodger that, makes since now. The aem does not replace the elbow that connects directly to the turbo.

no intake company does. This single observation is why I crusade in criticsm of inake manufacturers. They clearly never even test oem equipment. All this claimed R&D, goes straight into the marketing line entry of the balance sheet.:dr:
Can you say "placebo"?
I unconditionally claim to have the best TOTAL intake on the LLY market.
Combine the True CAI that I build, with this Induction Overhaul Kit, and there is not another (hyped) intake in the world today that can match the dyno performance of this.
If you find a commercially available intake that can beat mine, it will be FREE. I also guarantee at least double the performance benefit. How's that?
In addition, you don't have to give up filtration quality, fix MAF codes, or clean an element....EVER.

not the newest stuff.
Consider that at 32 psi, there is 8 psi lost to the compressor mouthpiece. If you can manage 160 mph with a perfect ram air setup, you can get about 1 psi of that back. But at 60 mph, that is reduced to .2-.3 psi. Not enough to make a dent.
In a turbodiesel work vehicle, "ram air" is a gimmick.

After this statement Michael has made he shouldn't have to say another word about this. It just sucks when people tear something apart. You either want to buy it or not...move on people.
Ok explain a little further. My assumption from your post.
A statement was made and I as well as others weigh options and use pieces and parts from all manufactures to get the best we feel we can get. Your statement clearly shows your opinion and wishes. I for one have been following the thread and will continue.
I ask about the banks air setup and would also like to ask about the ram air along with the LBZ turbo inlet combined to see if this is a possible setup for comparison.
You as a mod should choose your words carefully. I take your statement as don't question be scared to post a reply.
Questioning ideas and statements is part of R&D end users draw conclussions from. Read previous posts and this thread is based on opinions as well as facts.
I made this INDUCTION SPREADSHEET more applicable to this project. It should be more user friendly now.
No arguement intended. I just read and interpreted more into it or maybe I didn't. Thanks for the reply.
If I can't tear something apart for a better understanding of something, be it mechanical or technical, It's just not worth messing with. Thanks
Sorry to Michael about my thread. If everybody understood my rule #1 it would all make sense...right Steve?
I think I need it afterall no codes but!!!!!!! now that my EFI is back up I can see that something is wrong. My MAF lbs/min is only getting to 37-38 lbs/min now. Care to share? [email protected]
Thanks in advance
And wow does it work. I for one want to compare this setup to that of Killerbee's.
Just an FYI. I just learned that the LBZ m-piece is nationally backordered to the end of the year, perhaps beyond. As of yet, I am not affected by this. But I will be by later this month.
FWIW

Gm Parts Direct were on backorder, but I believe they have some in now, I was able to get mine from my local dealer +/- a month ago, they had to order it, but only took 2 days to get in for me. When I went to my dealer to order mine, his computer did say it was on backorder, but he made a phone call and got it for me 
I had originally ordered mine from GM Parts Direct and later found it to be on backorder after waiting a week.........So I cancelled that order and went to my dealer, about a week ago GM Parts Direct emailed me asking for payment because they had mine in, I ignored it for a day or two and finally got a confirmation email that I indeed had cancelled that order (I hate dealing with customer service with email) they dont have a live person on a phone you can talk to.........anyway, thats why I say GM Parts Direct might have at least one in stock

I have made this spreadsheet much easier to use. It shows a 50 HP gain at high altitude, high boost conditions. 15 HP at lower altitudes with stock tuning. Looking forward to some dyno numbers.
