Default Gt42 upgrade

Does anybody know about or tried this prouduct?

GT4508: direct bolt on upgrade for GT4202
When 1,000HP Isn't Enough.

Already have a 4202R and want more power? What's that you say? A GT45 compressor housing will not fit? Here is your answer. We take a GT4508 and machine a GT42 Compressor housing to accept the GT45 compressor wheel, it looks great too!

Paul Nelson runs one. He has the white ETS/ English Racing Evo 8. AMS runs Precisions version on this turbo as well.

Im running a GT42 and for some reason it was shipped as a T6 flange 1.15 A/R on the TURBINE. Thing wont spool till 6000+. But once it spools....HOLD ON!!!

But this year I went with a custom T4 flange 0.98 A/R so it should help it spool a bit sooner.

I think want a wants something with more airflow. Not a lighter turbo. Something like a GT4202 with the inducer machined down to 72mm for the rules in our class?
