Not! on a 2nd gen dodge,Very little power gains.More for looks then anything.If you had a 3rd gen then you would see power gains.I am not a fan of banks.That being said I like the ports that it has,for boost gauge,water meth nozzles,ect.The INTAKE HEATER DELETE I would not recommend if you live in a cold climate.

turbo20psi so does it serve a real purpose to have one on a truck. If you did have the banks on there and you stuck a chip/programmer on would it help in getting a better air to fuel ratio, than if it wasnt on there?

In my opinion , if you had compound turbos and an after market high flow Air-to-Air, then maybe it would be worth it. Otherwise, I doubt there is enough air movement between Turbo and the elbow to make a 3.5" worth it. A 3", perhaps a different story.
