Banks Kit Installed
I got my Banks Kit Installed. Runs Great!!!!
-Quick Turbo Assembly
-Trans-Command
-Stage 4 Chip
-4" Exhaust
-Gauges
Plus AFE Stage II Intake
Check out my gallery (Sig) for pics of the install.
I should note, read the directions before doing major work like this. It took a friend and I two days to do something that shoudl have taken one day.
It is an obsolute night and day difference!! Tons of power.
The chip did not work right off that bat, turns out the sticker on my computer was not correct, ended up having to get it reprogrammed. It was good however because I got to see what the Turbo, Exhaust and Intake improvements did versus the chip. I would say it is about 50/50 between the chip and the physical upgrades.
Banks is expensive, but i deffinately recommend. The quality is excellent, good customer service / tech support. The parts all fit perfect, especially the exhaust!

I've had Banks products in the past and loved thier build quality. Best set of headers that I ever saw went on my '95 460. Congrats on your new toys and enjoy.
That squeaky clean new tailpipe tip is now black on the inside I'll bet.

Layson,
Hey thanks for the info, as splicing wires to hook up the trans command in not really what I want to do. I was just wondering if it worth it but I think I might just pass on the trans command and try out the Sniper tuner cause I have a laptop and I could do tuning on the road plus it probly does the same thing as the trans comand. thanks

Congrats on your new Banks install. I love love mine too but I didn't get the complete kit because I didnt want Banks electronics. DP-Tuner and Banks are lively under my hood and wouldn't change it for nothing.

Congrats on the Banks system. I have the Banks exhaust brake, large downtube and exhaust system on mine. The turbo sounds sooooo good I have the passenger side window down just to hear the whine. (but the better half does that to when I do this). Six speed adds to the fun!

That is my only complaint about the Transcommand.
