Hey Banks Turbo owners!

[kapnklug]

Question for y'all:
Did the Banks kit come with a different CDR valve? Or did you keep the stock CDR?
Seems like the CDR would have to be plumbed into the intake before the turbo (wouldn't work in stock location because crankcase pressure will be fighting against boost pressure?)

Stock CDR reused, it plumbs into the base of the Banks air cleaner pre-turbo.

I put a Banks kit on my Dually. See thread below.

I've got two 6.2 Blazers with Banks turbos. One is a marine version and one for a road vehicle. Marine version does not have the typical air-cleaner and I had to use one from a Dodge-Cummins diesel instead. Works fine, just takes some added plumbing when not in a boat. Marine turbo itself is also different and is a Rayjay Rotomaster.

You also have to plug the holes in the intake (under where the air filter went). The Banks kit come with rubber caps that go over the factory nipples, but they are prone to cracking and seeping boost. I removed the steel nipples from my intake and drilled and tapped them for 3/4 NPT pipe plugs.
