Anyone running the GT42?
Anyone running the GT42? Just was wondering if anyone was running the eBay GT42, and if so what is your set up. I know plenty of people are using the GT45's on 5.3 with good success. I have a LY6 the I was thinking of doing a front mount setup on a 99 T/A. The GT42 I was considering I believe has the 75mm compressor, 77mm turbine, and 1.05 a/r on the hot side. I plan to have just a fun street car, no real track time unless its a test and tune type deal. Any experiences with this turbo would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Yep, I've seen them. The T6 frame S475. I appreciate the recommendation. I would like to hear from anyone who has ran the GT42. This isn't a track car, nor a premium show ride. Just trying to see the results people have got from this turbo. Keep the info coming though, I'm always willing to learn!

made 730whp on a mustang dyno at 17psi on E85. Oh yeah, that was on a cam only, 799 headed, gen IV 4.8L. TH400 and a brake
I think the gt45 is how I'm gonna start out. I have a 5.3L that I can play with that may be better matched for that turbo. My only thing is I wouldn't have a use for the 6L, and I really wanted a boosted 6L. Maybe I can sit it to the side for a future date. By the way, what size injectors were you running when it made 730rwhp???
