What one should i do?

I am thinking about putting on an intercooler and was wondering banks or hypermax? I know a lot of u guys like to make them up yourself but i am at college with almost no tools or resources so what one do you think.

I would choose the banks unit over the hypermax. (did I just recommend a banks product, I need to go wash my mouth out with soap!).

BUT if you have few tools and resources you still might want to wait until you are better equipped. Its still quite a project.

Banks dont make Horrible products now tim.
They are just pricey and your paying for a name most of the time, which is sad.

They dont really dig PSD's anyways. They like playing with those Isuzzu Duramaxe's and cummins. Im' not sure whats their deal against PSD's. Their tuners are absolute garbage for a PSD, but they work good on the duramaxes and the Cummings tho.

You can wash out your mouth while you are washing that spotless engine bay of yours. LMAO.

Simple green isn't strong enough to get banks out of my mouth. Might have to get the wheel cleaner out!

Brake clean MIGHT do the trick. Gotta keep it away from my eyes though. That stuff burns!! I keep waiting for it to melt my OSHA approved safety contacts!

That crap was always etching my safety glasses but man once I got those sweet new safety contacts it hasn't been a problem since! They don't work really great for grinding though.
