wastegated banks sidewinder for a 6.5?

[devildogadam]

Today I will be pulling the whole sidewinder kit off of a wrecked 1989 ford 7.3 idi. ( turbo, down pipe, guages, and trans comander) And then will be slowly putting it onto my 1994 6.5 but right now I can't seem to find much info online about the turbo and am wondering if anyone else has done what I am about to do.

Contact Banks and they will send you the information, I did just that for my 84 K30.

If memory serves me correctly, I think it is a switzer turbo, but can't tell you much more than that. I think parts are getting hard to find for them since BANKS hasn't produced them in awhile(I think they went back to the non wastegated one).

How did it turn out, what kind of boost does it make and is your 6.2 able to get it to spool up at a reasonable rpm.

In a few hours I will have all you he parts on my work bench and know more. I know the ones banks produced for the 6.2 was non-wastegated but the 6.9/7.3 kits got the wastegated turbo. I havent even been able to find a part number for the turbo. Just one for the while kit. I am lucky to know the old truck it is coming off. I have done a lot of work on it for the previous owner. I can't wait to have it on my little 6.5!

Well it is official. I am one happy camper!!! In one fell swoop I got a new turbo ( banks sidewinder te06h), and banks gauges for boost l, egt, and trans temp
