I have an early Banks, non wastegated turbo on an 85 6.9. There is a "24025" stamped in the bottom of the compressor housing and a "11318" is all that's still legible on the tag. Square filter box Works great, not much play in the shaft. I will try to get pics in the daylight tomorrow.
However it is liquid cooled, which I have never seen on any idi turbo kits. Cooling ports plumbed into the heater hoses. I am getting a leak from one of the pipe fittings on one of the coolant ports on the back of the turbo. No way to access the trouble area at all without either removing the turbo, removing the engine, or lifting the cab.
So I would like to know if it would be safe to bypass the cooling entirely on this unit to eliminate the need to address the leak that can't be accessed.
Thanks
