Ever seen this intake system?

[Darrin Tosh]

Looks to me like someone figured how to cut down a Banks Box and add Moose Air,..!

There's a guy we do work for that has a rotomaster turbo on a 90 7.3. The intake plenum is about the best I have seen to use for something like this. It has a relatively simple "90*" from turbo to intake manifold, and the plenum is a funky L shape, the CDR bolts to it in proper fashion and leads to about 6-8" back above driver's side manifold.
Turbo is worthless though

Banks box? NO!
That is a factory ATS turbo box with a custom cover to block off the box. Dont know why they just didnt take the bottom half of the box out, just two bolts hold it in there. It also looks like a different turbo than the ATS.
On edit: at second glance it is hard to tell, what it is for sure I may be wrong.

That Red paint is not shiny enough to be Darrin's truck. Definetly the way to go with the Banks box though.

I'm still thinking Darrin's truck...I don't think he's taken the engine out or anything to paint in the engine bay and he teased us just enough to not let us see anything above the firewall...

On Edit...and I think I'm seeing some red dust on the A/C lines......

My only question here is why go to all that work and still draw air into the engine that has been heated coming through the radiator. When I researched my Hypermax installation they told me I could reduce my EGT 200 degrees by drawing cool air. I bought their hood mounted cool air intake system and don't have high EGT's with my pump up 2 1/2 flats.

Hey Guys, This has been interesting, I didn't realize that people would think that it was my truck, however. It is a Banks Turbo, but the pic was taken off a truck from E-Bay, not my truck. I just thought it was pretty cool a lot of guys have been talking about doing something like that for a while.

Here is a pic of my box,...just a peek though,...

Atta boy Darrin!!! Now are we thinking ram air, or cowl induction type of scoop?

 

[argve]
