Really. That surprises me, but that's why I asked first. Are you saying that because the ATS looks like it's been used harder? I'm a newbie at diesel's but I've always been a hot rodder so I'll wind up trying to make more power eventually. For now it would be going on my stock 130K mile 7.3 for better fuel economy mainly.
I have a spare 7.3 in a parts truck that will get a rebuild and maybe some performance upgrades like J2 cam, head studs, etc. The turbo would wind up on that motor so a wastegate might be necessary.
I figured the age of the banks kit would make it harder to get parts and that the ATS would be better due to a more modern design. I also read that mounting the old style Banks air box is a pain. What are the pros and cons of each kit?

i prefer the non wastegated banks unit.
i regularly see 15 + lbs boost pulling loads with open exhaust.
if i remember correctly the most you can get out of a wastegated ATS unit is around 12 lbs boost
and i "slightly modified" my air box.
