1983 Sidewinder Turbo Kit for Ford 6.9-Liter
In the 1980s, diesel trucks were slow and sluggish. Banks Power’s Sidewinder Turbo System changed that, giving diesel trucks the power and performance they needed to compete with gasoline engines. The Sidewinder kit dramatically improved acceleration and fuel economy, making it a popular choice for truck owners who towed heavy loads. Banks’ innovation paved the way for factory-installed turbochargers in diesel trucks, forever changing the automotive landscape.
