Not sure but I think it helps force air into the airbox. Where are you getting a turbo from for a DS650? Did you ever get a hold of GP?

Ram air is a system that places the intake on the front of the bike allowing the air to be pushed into the airbox by riding forward at speed. The true masters of ram air are Kawasaki. It will not be effective on a quad. You have to be going at least 60 mph before you see any positive pressure in your airbox. Leave the ram air systems for use on street bikes.

Yeah I finally talked to GP. HyperTech tried to setup the kit on their own and had a few problems. HyperTech is moving from Michigan to Kansas. I'm waiting to get some more info.
