A sign of things to come..........*56K ehh*

We just Laser cut some exhaust flanges for the 2.0 & 2.2. I hear rumors that a very large order of factory longblocks has been placed. It seems that we are gearing up for something pretty big. For those that don't know who "Banks" is, let's just say that Turbos are on the menu.

No, I was just giving a hint of who we are and what we are known for. To answer your question though there will be quite a bit more than just turbo kits available.

Crawl out from under your rock man... Banks is a huge company known for their diesel products mainly for trucks and diesel SUVs. Big turbos big intercoolers very very big exhausts (5 inches turbo back) great stuff.

I am so about to dump this shitty 2.4... It is fast but just can't keep up with the SS/SC or the SRT-4. God it is so annoying. Also, how much and what is available in the way of upgrading the tranny to hold a turbo?

Bill Jr. makes some great products but we will be taking this project a few steps farther.

More than likely we will just be offering engine components. Has anyone broke a tranny yet?

Heh, my tranny works but where is Banks located? If they want a test car I will drive it up to 300 miles, maybe further. And maybe if you guys are nice enough, I could get a rental or borrow a car too! ^^ if not I will provide my own transportation...

Shouldn't those flanges be port matches? They look like someone cut them just guessing what the sizes were.
