DPS Performance makes injectors.
Banks has the most complete turbo system. But both are good.

i was thinking bot going ats just because im 18 and dont want to spend a thousand more bucks on banks but if i had money i wuld go for banks.does the dps injectors add anymore horsepower or do anything.my buddy put those injectors in and made the truck run like crap but my grandpa has them and the truck runs great.would they work better with a turbo and the pump turned up

the preformance dps injectors dont spray fuel into the cyl. they dump it. thus the run rough.


u can find used kits for 700. just make sure they are complete.

the axle swap isnt hard my f250 has a solid swap in it. ur gona need to fab up a trac bar setup tho. do your self a favor and make sure the gears in the axle u have now and the gears in the axle ur puttin in match. mine dont match and it pisses me off every day.

I have the ats kit on my 6.9 I just installed it I found the kit for 150 bucks but it didn't have the up pipes or intake and the up pipes cost me 400 to have made and I made the intake out of stock 7.3 powerstroke parts but over all find a complete kit and it's surprisingly easy to install. I'll post a pic of the intake when I get home.
