hypermax over the banks.
ive ran the hypermax in my rig but am going to the spearco intercooler sold by blackclouddiesel and dieselinnovations.
if you get the spearco you will have to make a pipe kit or have one made for you. its pretty simple to have some 3" mandrel bend exaust tubing bend to fit and use a EARLY 99 ypipe, v band clamp for the EARLY 99 and the reducers to go from 2-3/8 to 2"
the other way to get the pipes made is get a set of superduty pipes and get 4 3" mandrel bend 90s that you can get at most exhaust shops. and fit them all up in there and your good to go.
gtspowerstroke makes pipe kits but he is very very unreliable and has communication issues with him especially after he has your money. the last pipe kit i got from him didnt fit worth a smelly brown thing.

You will need the "Y" manifold. I forgot all about that. That manifold re-directs the output from the compressor to the intercooler and back to the intake manifold. I also remember having to block some port on that manifold. It's been a long time since I did it. When you sy 'plenium' do you mean the intake manifold? You have to remove the black manifold that exits the compressor and use the new style manifold. I may have had to grind something off the "Y"pipe, but I forgot already. Can't use the "powerstroke" black cover over the fuel filter housing after install either.
It's not a hard job to do. Front end has to come off. Be carefull of the radiator. I had some problems with clearance from the condensor to the radiator and from a hose or bracket that rubbed a hole in my radiator. I missed it on installation and it rubbed for years before it put a hole in the radiator. Just a small oversight.

the early 99 ypipe is on national backorder ive been tryin to get one for a couple weeeks now for a buddies rig, im just gonna build one now.
the ats kit is a pretty good setup as long as your just gonna keep your stock injectors or a set of 130cc'ss its a nice clean install also.
