Anybody know what the deal is on the RotoMaster IDI turbo? Some of the parts on this kit say Banks, but not all of them?

Anybody know the story and if they are supported at all?

Thanks

R. J.

I am rebuilding one right now, as soon as I get the damn thin apart I can let you know if it the same as a garrett.

rotomaster was making turbos long before our engines were even thought of,IIRC garrett now owns those rights.

I have heard they are Garrett turbos and Banks bought them out but I am trying to confirm.

Banks will have whoever build turbos for them at their specs for the best price do it, there is no way any parts seller would tool up to build their own. Banks did have some of their own housings cast and then put on the center section, hence the logo cast in.
