Gt42R, courtesy of Sean.

IMO, superchargers are a waste on a rotary. No offence Kath.

I am not familiar with the flow characteristics of turbos. I run the stock but ported and ceramic coated cosmos. What is the best turbo to go with? I had a t-78 but that was too laggy for me. Is the gt42r laggy or at what rpm can you expect boost and then what rpm to full boost. How much boost is it capable of producing, and holding? Ive seen alot of people talking about this turbo and wonder if it is the best turbo for this setup.

A T-78 Mitsubishi/Greddy turbo laggy on a 3-rotor 20B?
If you found that too laggy then don't even consider a GT-42 then.

Here is a power curve of our 20B with a GT40R turbo. You can see that it is producing full boost at 3400rpms.
