Banks Power introduced the Sidewinder turbo kit for Ford 6.9/7.3L diesel engines in 1983. This kit significantly improved performance and fuel economy, making it a popular choice for truck owners. Even after 39 years, the Sidewinder kit remains available and continues to be a reliable and effective upgrade for these classic trucks.
In search of a solution for their underpowered 1988 Ford 7.3L diesel truck, Dale Thomas and his wife Esther discovered the Banks Sidewinder Turbo System. After installation, they experienced significant improvements in power, reduced smoke, and increased reliability on their many camping trips. Dale credits the Banks Sidewinder Turbo System with revolutionizing their truck’s performance, making it a dependable companion for countless adventures.
