1.

For ease of installation of your

Banks system, familiarize yourself with

the procedure by reading the entire

manual before starting work.

2.

The exploded view (pages 4-5)

provides only general guidance. Refer

to each step and section diagram in

this manual for proper instruction.

3.

Throughout this manual, the

left side of the vehicle refers to the

driver’s side, and the right side to the

passenger’s side.

4.

Disconnect the ground cable from

the battery (or batteries, if there are

two) before beginning work.

5.

Route and tie wires and hoses a

minimum of 6” away from exhaust

heat, moving parts and sharp

edges. clearance of 8” or more is

recommended where possible.

6.

When raising the vehicle, support

it on properly weight-rated safety

stands, ramps or a commercial hoist.

Follow the manufacturer’s safety

precautions. Take care to balance the

vehicle to prevent it from slipping or

falling. When using ramps, be sure the

front wheels are centered squarely on

the topsides; put the transmission in

park; set the hand brake; and place

blocks behind the rear wheels.
Caution! Do not use floor jacks to

support the vehicle while working

under it. Do not raise the vehicle

onto concrete blocks, masonry

or any other item not intended

specifically for this use.

7.

During installation, keep the work

area clean. Do not allow anything

to be dropped into intake, exhaust,

or lubrication system components

while performing the installation, as

foreign objects will cause immediate

turbocharger and/or engine damage

upon start-up.
Note: Prior to beginning any work,

please verify the build date of your

vehicle.
Certain steps in this manual are

model-year specific, so be sure to read

each step carefully before performing

any work.
