I can take pictures of parts too, point is????
How about measuring the units for us, that would be more useful. I was told that the GT57/88 is 12" x 12" x 12".
I'd like the measurements of a PTE88 too.

Going by looks you could say that, but the truth is the GT45 makes less power in stock form then the 76GTS and GT42-76. Reason being is its only a 69mm unit. The GT45-76 we build will make around the same power as the GT42-76. And yes the 76GTS is the small one.

For those wondering, this is in millimeters:
1 millimeter = 0.0393700787 inch ...so the 257mm across the width is roughly 10.12 inches.
1 millimeter = 0.0393700787 inch ...so the 257mm across the width is roughly 10.12 inches.

The GT42 will flow more do to the size of the compressor cover and turbine then the 76. Same difference why a PT88 and a GT47 are alot different in rating, but wheels are almost identical. The MP-GT45 has the advantage of running a larger turbine wheel then the 42 and 76. Which means more flow before turbine stalling. The MP GT45 turbine wheel as far as I can tell is a derivative of a BG wheel. They flow tons, and have big trims, but are a little laggy for small cube motors. It will definitely outflow the S-trim wheel from Garrett and work Awesome on SBC's, SBF's and LS1's. They just need a boost on the compressor side, which we have taken care of with the 74 and 76mm versions.

Now the GT45 with your new wheel.... does it outflow/Outpower the GT42-80 you have now?? Do they both come in a T6 flange?? I know my GT42 is... just wondering u know why

. PITA, but it will smoke the standard GT42 config. Problem is price and parts are hard to justify. But we are working on a solution.Jose

From the edge of the inlet to edge of the outlet discharge, the measurement is 10 ¼”.
From the top to the bottom of the turbine housing is 8 ½”. From the top to the bottom of the compressor cover is 8".

Jose,
reguarding the last Pm you sent me.....
Now the peak HP of the GT42-76 in a T4 and T6 flanged unit.... how much more flow/HP will the T6 make over the T4 with the 76mm wheel??
Now with the 80MM wheel like we talked about??
Thanks man im sure im going to be sending you mine.
