    Open Downpipe

    I don't have a factory turbo but with my NWG Banks, 3 inch downpipe to 4 inch straightpipe, exiting before the passenger rear tire = very little whistle. With the windows up I only hear the whistle when the boost is at 5+ psi. And even then it isn't very loud. At idle with my ear next to the...

    anyone running this banks kit

    I just replaced my thermocouple. Maybe my gauge is off but the most i have ever seen is 900 and that was with no intercooler. I only have the pump turned up 1 1/2 flats and the most exhaust smoke I see is a light gray color when loaded heavy pulling up hill. The intercooler lowered my egt's...

    anyone running this banks kit

    I did a lot of searching other posts/threads prior to installing my intercooler and I found the majority of other people tend to go with a 2 1/2" size so that is what I did. Looking at the clearance from my intercooler pipe (over the alternator) and the hood I don't think 3 inch would work in...

    anyone running this banks kit

    Yes the boots have bends in them and I used straight pipe. I got them from siliconeintakes.com. I don't remember the price exactly but they have prices on their website. When I was figuring out how to run the tubes I used empty paper towel rolls and masking tape to mock it up. By doing this...

    anyone running this banks kit

    Here are some pics of my intercooler setup. I don't have a tube bender so this is what I came up with using exhaust tubing. '99 psd intercooler, 2 1/2" exhaust tubing (painted on both sides), silicone boots from siliconeintakes, PSD intake hat thanks to Ottoparts via Typ4. Setup - all...

    Hours to remove ATS Turbo system?

    You may also have success accessing the uppipe and pedestal by removing the transmission floorboard cover and gaining access from inside the cab. I would also suggest spraying penetrating lubricant on the nuts and bolts every chance you get up until the time for removal.

    banks pyrometer

    I forgot to say that the K Type thermocouple was a match to my pyro gauge which is the original VDO gauge that came with the turbo.

    banks pyrometer

    I bought a K type Theromcouple for mine. Make sure you get one that has the same diameter as the mounting hole. I don't remember the diameter. Hopefully someone else will chime in with that info if you need it.

    idi on ax men

    I don't mean to derail this thread but I can't hold it in any longer. The Ax men show is a huge misrepresentation to the Logging industry. About 80% of the dangerous situations shown on TV is illegal under current Labor and Industries Standards. I personally know members of the browning...

    Well not an IDI but pretty funny...

    I think I understand how you were looking at this situation. If Ice was a frictionless surface your thought process would be correct. But eventhough ice is slippery it is not frictionless. That being said the more drive tires you have on ice the more friction you create. More friction = more...

    Well not an IDI but pretty funny...

    This is not an IDI but compare 0-15 and 30-45. This should explain why 4wd is better on ice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYws-l-t0ZQ

    Trans Discussion

    There are plenty of threads about a E4OD to ZF5 swap on here but off the top of my head. You will need to get the trans tunnel cover from a manual truck, master cylinder, the correct drive shafts, and the backup lights wiring plug that plugs into the ZF5. I would also suggest upgrading to a...

    How to mount EGT probe in exhaust pipe?

    Just tap a hole in your exhaust manifold. The thermocouple will tread into that hole. No need for a nut on the back side.
