Dear Customer:
You have just purchased the finest, most technologically advanced
turbocharging system available for light truck diesel engines. gale
banks engineering has utilized the knowledge and experience gained
through years of turbocharged engine design to combine performance,
durability and good looks into a professional quality turbocharger
system. best performance and installation of your sidewinder system
will be realized by thoroughly reading and following the installation
instructions before and throughout the installation process.
Your sidewinder turbo system operates by utilizing the engine’s exhaust
gases to spin a turbine wheel, which in-turn drives a compressor
through a common shaft. The compressor draws air through the
air cleaner and forces it into the engine at a greater density and
pressure than that which the atmosphere would normally provide. This
additional air will burn more completely the available fuel, or additional
fuel, resulting in greater performance and efficiency. The volume and
pressure (boost) that the turbocharger puts out is controlled by the size
of the turbocharger in relation to the size of the engine, the position of
the accelerator and the load on the vehicle. a small amount of engine oil
is fed to the turbocharger shaft assembly to lubricate the shaft bearings,
and then returned to the engine. Your GaLe banks enGIneerInG
