If I were to install a Banks or ATS turbo kit myself, how hard would it be? Is it something best left to a profession?

Thanks in advance!

 

i installed a Banks Sidewinder with basic hand tools in my driveway.it took me two days to get it installed. could have finished in a day if i was younger. the installation manuals are available for download at no cost from the Banks website. google bankspower. it might be a good idea to look it up and read about the installation. the only manual not available is the one for the non-waste gated turbo (big square air cleaner box) the hardest part was installing the oil return line in the rubber gromet in the valley pan. as for the ATS kit, i would assume it would be similar to install.

 

ats is super easy. about 3 hours and your done.

 

Sweet! Well, I might be picking up a Banks in a week or two. Since I'm a manual trans, if I pick up one for an automatic, do I need to special order something to make it work for my truck?

 

No, Not much different. The auto ones have an added tranny dipstick procedure.
