ok first question why? you turbo does all the sucking of air if you start to force it it it will become turbulent and will eventually result in a loss of fuel milage, it happened on my budies truck, basically it will be working against itself. the tubine pulls in air then with that that will be forcing air against the turbine blades causing them to intern slow down

i can see what 94cummins is taking about..

on a dyno your not forcing the air in. your just giving the intake easy access to fresher/cooler air.

also all the tubing is corrugated it's a bit restrictive... probably no enough to make any substantial difference

I been toying with the idea of moving the batteries to the tool box in the bed to make more workin room under the hood and moving the air intake up to the front of the truck so the air comes in right off the front of the truck and is basically a straight shot into the turbo area.

Look at the some of the drag racers and pullers, they take the headlight out and stick the filter up there to helping forceing air up there cant be all bad.
