Default Gt42?

What size motor do these work best on? 346 or 408 and what is that max amount of rwhp can you make with one of these. I have been reading about them and i have read from a few of you about needing to go with a bigger one like t88 or so with more cubic in. Or will this work with a bigger motor?

The GT42 comes in various forms. It can be as small as a T74 or built to fit between a T76 and a T88. My GT42 flows more that a T76 and less than a 88. It just depends on how its put together.

The GT42 direct from garrett only comes in 2 sizes. A 70mm and 74mm. The the 74 can support up to ~800-850rwhp. If you are going to use this turbo, then stay with a 346.
