I think Banks is just a bunch of hype. The product is "probably" good, but it is way over-priced. Some folks just don't know what they are missing.

Well just got back from the test test drive big diference fro, what i was used to but do have a couple compaints egt get up there reall fast im not able to stay into it long before it starts reaching the 1300 mark, and im getting some weird noises kinda hard to explain but i think it sounds like it is comeing from the turbo but not sure it got dark on me today i'll fool with it tommorow, and lastly on the 120 setting it kick on ses light but i think it was because it was overboosting boost got up to 25 i have a overboost kit just need to do a lil adjusting but any body else have this chip and are you experiencing these strange noises like i am or is there something wrong here. Thanks in advance

I have the 6 pos TS chip, i don't hear any noise difference. But when i switch to my last setting Fuel 7(140 Extreme they call it) my idle rpms drop and my engine sounds a little different at idle. I don't seem to have many egt problems. I used to get the ses light too, installed a boost relief valve and havn't seen it since.

The noise im kinda hearing sounds like the turbo is fluttering thats the best way i think i can describe it, but i heard it again when i drove home this mornin from work. Sometimes u can hear it when u ease into the throttle and other times i can hear it when i let off it.

I think i might try the wicked wheel first then go from there and think else kinda cheap that i can do, gota fork out some big bucks shortly for tires so the turbo will have to wait a while.

It's listed at the bottom of this page:

EDIT: IMO you don't need the Turbo Air Guide that they are selling along with it. I agree with thier thinking and if I had lot's of money to throw around I would buy them. But you don't need them to cure compressor stall with the new wheel. At least on mine, it didn't.
