Won't hurt, might help. Go for it. Make something like this; PUSHER ALUMINUM Dodge Cummins 12v Intake Manifold Horn - eBay (item 220477841796 end time Nov-06-09 19:28:29 PST)

more air flow; its entirely possible. you may notice boost pressure may drop; but it takes a restriction to create pressure. by cuttin the intake loose your reducing restriction and increasing flow. all of which can and will help egt's

Air Intake Horns=Lightened load in your wallet with minimal gains for your motor.
