can you combine a hypermax intercooler with a banks sidewinder kit?

I have a 89' f350 7.3 idi with a banks sidewinder turbo kit and was wondering if i could hook up a hypermax intercooler kit with it...????

Of course you can. You'll need to fab and route your own piping though.

Thats what i was figuring on. But no biggy there. Sweet looks lik 1900 well spent..

i thought about that,but then realized there would be no point in it.a lot of that $ your spending,is so you can just buy a pre-made kit and bolt it in.
since you can't do that with the banks turbo,it's much cheaper to just buy your own cooler,pipe,and fab it up yourself.cus you'd be doing that anyway.
same results in the end.

Some of the above is true... Some not so true. I have a Banks sidewinder turbo on my rig and I have two hypermax intercoolers. There is no need to fabricate any piping but there is a need to fab up an intake hat. I have researched this and found we can actually turn the discharge of the cold side turbo and buy an adapter to fit directly to the hypermax intake hat. I don't recall the size adapter to fit the Banks turbo outlet to the hypermax intake hat. I'm guessing it was 1 5/8 to 2 1/2 but please don't hold my feet to the fire if I'm wrong... Its a guess from years ago work.

For 1900 bucks I am sure you could buy all the tools and material to do this and get a full sized intercooler.

Ya that sound a bit pricish to me.. I can get 7.3 IC's all day long at 80-100 bucks.
