Banks versus Hypermax
I'm having my IDI rebuild and want to have a Turbo kit on it.
As far as I can see there are only two company's, Banks and Hypermax available.
Banks have an by-pass/waste gate turbo- which I like.
Hypermax have puls systems with two inlets from the exhaust, which I like two..
What do you guys recond?.

Banks versus Hypermax, its gonna be an ATS...
Thanx for giving me some inputs here.
I will ad the ATS, much easier to control the boost having
a turbo with waste gate.
I got the donor motor yesterday, -93IDI with 120-150.000 miles on it,
I'll see what cavitation and pour oil have done to it.
Hopefully it can be turned into a nicely running tuned up IDI.
I'll be back, hunting you guys down for some answers as my project are
limping forward.
Have to tell, here in Norway there are hardly none having knowledge about US IDI's, even the Ford dealership sucks.
Also parts can be hard to find, reasonable prized.
But i do have a cousin living over there....:-)

Helge :-)

Since the last IDI was produced in 1994, finding a shop with a mechanic that can work on an IDI is not an easy task here in the USA, even at the dealership.

im not a big fan of the ATS turbo kit for one reason, its alot harder to do maintmance and its alot harder to install than the sidewinder kit. other than that its a good turbo kit, but i prefer the sidewinder over ats

The advantage is the waste gate.
The wastegate allows the turbo to be more aggressive at lower RPM producing more boost, and then at high RPM the waste gate opens to prevent over boost from causing engine damage.
Also the waste gate can be adjusted for max boost pressure.
A non waste gated turbo only has the fuel setting, exhaust restriction and intake restriction as a way to adjust the boost level.
So they tend to be a little less aggressive to keep the heads on the engine and the head gaskets in place.
Tell me of a Hypermax making mid 20's for boost and I will change my mind.
