I have a wastegated Banks Sidewinder that had shaft play so I tore it down. Was going to rebuild it myself, but finding a kit is a bear. I’ve read the wastegated sidewinders were all TE06H’s but the label on my turbo got ripped off before I acquired it. The motor is a stock 94 7.3 in a 93 F250. Pretty sure non turbo, but it was a swap in by previous owner, so I am really not 100% sure.
Option A: I will rebuild it with a TE06H kit off eBay. But, If anybody can confirm they have used a TE06H kit to rebuild their sidewinder or point me to a scenario where some one has, that’d be awesome as I would rather know for sure it’ll work before paying for a rebuild kit.
Option B: a different turbo that will bolt up to the sidewinder up pipe. I did read a BW S257SXE would do that, but can anyone confirm that for me? Will that work with a stock motor and not blow The engine apart? I’m really not looking for crazy boost or power or anything. Just tired of smoking up the mountaintop while I’m driving the hills. Thanks.
