Get rid of restrictions. Duramax saw 1-3mpg improvement and power gain with .5inch increase in diameter and straight through design. The benefit on a turbo motor, diesel or gas, is that the pressure past the turbo is lower than stock. This larger difference between the two sides of the turbine cause a greater speed of rotation, which equals more boost, more power, and greater efficiency (look up boost pressure and compression efficiency graphs). I would suggest it.
