Early Banks Kit Difference in Auto and Manual

[Tristan]

Good morning Gentlemen,
I seem to remember that the early Banks turbo kits were different for the automatic and manual transmission. What is the difference? The y-pipe is the only thing that seems likely.

I think you're right, the Y-pipe is different. I seem to recall that there is also a control arm, on the C-6 transmission, running between the transmission and the IP. Other differences might exist, but others will have to list them.

Gandalf, that's the kickdown linkage. The up pipes could be different too. I believe the early ATS kits had different ones between standards and automatics.

It probably is an up pipe difference. When I had the hypermax setup on my last truck and converted from zf to c6, the pipes would in no way fit anymore. I'm sure the banks setup is very similar to my early hypermax kit I had

From what I've found while looking for a kit for my truck is there are 3 different turbo pedestal mounts. 1 for truck auto, 1 for truck manual and 1 for a van.

Are all vans automatic?

Put simply, Auto: the up pipe is on the driver side. Manual: the up pipe is on the passenger side. I found out the hard way. I had the first gen "big box" Banks turbo. My truck is a ZF5. The turbo kit was off of a C6 auto truck. When installed, the pedestal was aimed right into the bell housing and there was no way to install the up pipe.
The auto pedestal MAY work with a E4OD but I cannot confirm or deny.

Turbo pedestals are different.

So this means if I were to do a ZF-5 swap i would need to find a manual transmission pedestal and up pipe?
