It's only good for the Intake spider for the inter cooler.

Quick answer, waste of money. Everything in that kit can be had much cheaper DIY
6637 intake. Ditch the cat and muffler. Get some gauges and a chip. IC is your choice, many DIY kits available.

We're not a very pro 'gale banks' forum here...

For 3000 dollars you could buy injectors, make a intercooler setup, get an hpop, a custom chip, get an exhaust and intake. With a little left over probaly.

Banks products are very well engineered. The exhaust and the intercooler kit are very good if you want to pay what they want for them. The Trans Command, gauges, air filter and smaller turbo housing (I have one on a turbo I haven't installed yet) really aren't worth it. Your better off going with a custom chip from your choice of other tuners. As far as a different turbo you would be better off with a D66. Google D66 turbo.

OK Thanks....... One other thing I should mention is that it is on sell for $2715.00 I don't know if that makes a difference or not. It might still be a waste of money.

It doesn't even come with a complete exhaust. Although it does come with an Intercooler, turbo housing, trans command and some other stuff.

But I am going to take your advice and piece it together.

You guys are the best.

if you weren't on the other side of the country I would make you a deal on IC, HPOP, Injectors and Chip. But like others said Banks stuff if overpriced

These guys have you on the right track. PLEASE don't waste your money on that stuff. The IC and exhaust are very well engineered but WAY overpriced. If you would like specifics on alternative products that will take the place of the banks stuff let us know and we can help with that.
