I hope you're thinking about the GT4202R, anything smaller will choke anything bigger than a stock D16.

Yes GT42R is a Garrett ball bearing turbo. I feel like it might be to big I plan to run it on an H22A built everything.

Hold up, hold up. What are your goals? A GT42**R wil be way beyond overkill for 95% of all the setups out there.

it might be good for bragging rights and a dyno sheet.....too much power is going to slow you down on the street.

Dude, you gotta give us what you got so far......Like women, turbos are a dime a dozen. We need hp goals, full street or street strip, we cant read your mind.

Peaky power band and you will be hit like you rode a bicycle full steam into a brick wall.

Its not a fun thing to have on the street you better have a clear road opening that up.

Why bother with the Gt42R thing is pretty tiny, I'd go with a GT45 should be nice on the street get some Kumho Ecsta 712's on it and the thing should fly!
