Banks Power Boost Tube Upgrade Kit - Charge Air Cooler Pipe Replacement

Banks Power Boost Tube Upgrade Kits are precision-engineered charge air cooler pipe replacements designed to eliminate the airflow restrictions, pressure losses, and durability failures inherent in factory intercooler piping. Where OEM systems rely on crush-bent metal tubing, undersized passages, and plastic components prone to cracking and boost leaks, Banks Boost Tubes are purpose-built for maximum flow efficiency, structural integrity, and long-term reliability.

Key Features:

• Mandrel-bent, constant-diameter aluminized steel construction eliminates turbulence and flow restriction caused by factory crush-bent pipes and plastic OEM components
• Significantly increased flow area over stock intercooler piping for improved boost pressure retention, greater charge air density, and faster turbo spool response
• High-strength aluminized steel tubing resists clamping force deformation, heat, and mechanical stress — will not flex, crack, or degrade like OEM charge air pipes
• Proprietary heavy-duty 5-ply high-temperature silicone couplers engineered specifically for sustained high-boost applications
• Spring-loaded constant tension clamps maintain secure, leak-free connections under continuous boost pressure cycling
• CFD-designed billet adapters and couplers (where applicable) reduce turbulence and preserve volumetric flow at connection points
• Compatible with stock factory intake components as well as Banks Monster-Ram intake manifolds
• Designed to support both stock and tuned engine applications
• Includes bung for temperature probe or sensor installation
• Installable at home with ordinary hand tools

By reducing pressure drop throughout the charge air system, Banks Boost Tube Upgrade Kits allow the turbocharger to spool more quickly, increase charge air density between the turbo, intercooler, and intake manifold, and deliver measurable gains in horsepower and torque. Improved charge air efficiency also contributes to lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) under load — a critical benefit for towing and high-demand driving scenarios.

Banks Power has been engineering high-performance diesel and gas powertrains since 1958. With decades of patents and breakthroughs in turbocharging and engine development — and a product line trusted by the U.S. military — Banks brings unmatched engineering discipline to every component in the Boost Tube lineup.
