00:00 Hi, I'm Peter Trady from Banks Power.

00:04 We're out here on the 2014 Ultimate Adventure.

00:09 A lot of people, when they think about Banks Power, they think about diesels.

00:16 We do make a lot of great diesel products, but we also make a lot of great gasoline products.

00:20 A good example of that is our turbo kit for the Jeep Wrangler.

00:24 We have finalized the development on this system and we're ready to get it out there

00:29 and play with it a bit.

00:31 The Ultimate Adventure is the perfect opportunity to do that.

00:34 One of the most impressive things I've seen is the Banks turbocharger.

00:38 I love that thing.

00:40 It's like bolting a small block Chevrolet into your Jeep.

00:45 It just adds that zap that you need lots of times in the mud.

00:49 A lot of Wranglers, you put body armor on, you're running 37-inch tires, and that stock

00:55 4-liter just starts to really be bogged down by that.

00:59 When you start doing all those changes to your Wrangler, a lot of times what will happen

01:01 is you just can't even use overdrive because you just don't have the power to pull it.

01:06 The turbo kit was something that we thought of to get a little bit of that extra power

01:09 back without having to go to the expense of a Hemi swap or something like that.

01:14 What we've noticed is that with this turbo kit, we're cruising at highway speeds, we're

01:19 passing traffic when we need to, and that's with all this extra stuff on the truck.

01:23 When we get out on the trail, there hasn't been a single thing that we've come across

01:26 we haven't been able to do, and the power is just there when we need it.

01:29 It's nice, and it's in that lower register of the engine RPM band.

01:34 It has lots of torque, comes right off of idle, so it's extremely responsive.

01:40 We've just been having a great time with this kit.

01:42 We've got a lot of other things, too.

01:44 We've got intake systems for the Wranglers, we've got exhaust systems, and all of our

01:49 products are 50-state emissions legal.

01:51 We're getting ready to go out and hit some more trails.
