So this is what your suggesting to get correct?
Hypermax - Product Display
And i guess if no one here has a hypermax system ill wait until monday to call and talk to them about thew boost capability of this system.

The way i see it depending on shipping there is only a $200-$300 difference by the time u add on your gauges to the hypermax kit which are needed for is. The banks kit has so much extra stuff that hypermax makes you pay extra for. And the post dyno proof on there website i just relized and ive looked on hypermaxes website and still have yet to find a dyno slip. Im leaning towards the sidewinder kit. But i cant afford the banks kit as of today though.

I have that exact same kit installed on my 93, and it is an out of the box well engineered complete system. Banks is ready and eager to talk to you, and they include everything you need to do the job, max boost is set at 9.5 lbs, which makes my 93 feel hands down more powerful than my 94 factory turbo. One word of caution, the mounting location on the motor is a ***** trucker! I have heard that some pull the cab or motor to access it! I did get mine off and back on with the motor installed 30* at a time with a combo wrench! If you have a manual trans, you might save a few bucks because they should discount the price of the trans command module.
My advice is take the money you are spending on your other mods and put it into the Sidewinder. There is no more bang for the buck you can get for these motors.
Good luck,
Mac.

Like my post says... I did it with ewverything in place, so the answer to your question is NO. If I were to do it again, I would do it differently. It is a bitch to get to! I have been told, that it si not that hard to lift the cab. 6 bolts and a lot of connections. I have never done it though.

No, it's tight so a lot of folks do a body lift for more clearance but it isn't necessary. Download and read the manual from Banks Engineering (it's under the 'DOWNLOADS' tab on the product page:
Banks Power | 83-93 Ford - 6.9 & 7.3L>>Sidewinder® Turbo System
You do have to bend the cab/floorpan seam a bit in the down-pipe area, but that's about it. Easier to do with the engine removed but not that bad either way. The Banks kit is nice because it includes EVERYTHING you need, thorough instructions and good customer support. I have no experience with Hypermax stuff (may be comparable) but I have yet to hear anything bad about the Banks kit except it's a PITA to install.
