Banks twin turbo
I have not had the great experience with my Banks turbo set up. I bought a brand new set up from a guy here on the sight that had never been taken out of the boxes. I asked him if it had the standard port exhaust manifolds and he said that is what he had ordered. Well when I went to mock things up the manifolds were the raised port version. I called Banks and Jason said there are plenty of heads those will fit and that was it. I called every major head manufacturer that I could think of and none of them make a head these manifolds will fit properly. I found some with raised exhaust ports, but the port and bolt holes are raised, the Banks manifolds raise the port above the bolt hole centerline. When called back and mentioned what I had found I was told tough luck.
I may not be the original purchaser, but Jason knows him and I kind expected a little more from a company of Banks size and the amount of money they spend on advertising. I bought this kit because it is a simple bolt on, now I am not sure what I am going to do and they no longer offer a fuel injection system to work on this system. A simple bolt has turned into a winter of fabrication if I decide to make this work.
I would like to know if anyone else out there has used this manifold and if I am out of line for being pissed.
