It was like a scan from an advertisement or something. I was wondering if someone still has that clipping around and could post it.

I have an old black&white photo of the Gale Banks kit. It's in the car and it's kinda small, never saw the kit other than in this book, would love a look at it though if any others are out there? LMK if you want to see it and I will scan it sometime?

This wasnt a gale banks one. This was some other company. I dont remember the name but it showed everything and the car like in phantom. Just wanting to check it out.

Doing more research.

i remember seeing a pic from one of the "old" owners of Turbo Technology in Washington.

they sold twin turbo kits for third gens, two stages

Stage I was good for low mid 11s on a stock motor

Stage II was good for low 10s with accompaying fuel system, bottem end, etc.

neither was cheap AT ALL considering prices back then

Stage I was $4000
Stage II was $7500

I thought it might have been turbo tech but I wasnt positive.

I was just curious. Wanting to see a picture of that setup.

You mean this one? I posted this awhile back from my old issue of Turbo Magazine(Sep 91). I wonder how hard it would be to duplicate this setup yourself....go to the files "turbo 1", "turbo 2, and "turbo 3":

Skulte built his twin turbo around thier manifolds iirc. Just the manifolds tho..the rest he built.

I dont like how low it is and how you have to have a pump to get the oil back to the oil pan. I imagine it worked pretty good though!

If you read the article, those guys sorta bashed on it at the end but it was at a time when DFI was probably not very heard of (did it exist?). And I was only 13 years old. lol
