Are you talking about just a plain GT42, or one that has been customized for rotary use?

What kind of car do you have?

You can't just run a GT42. The ones that you see here on the forum at hybrids that Magnus has customized.

The same thing that HKS does when they sell a T51, or T04. YOu can call a Garrett distributor yourself and order a T51 or T04, but you won't get the same thing.

These people have gone to the trouble to find a combination of CHRA, compressor and turbine housing and wheel trim that they feel works. If you don't agree with their choice of specs, you can always put your own together. THis experiment can get really expensive, really fast.

RICERACING did his own T51, but he has some pretty crazy goals, knows what he is doing, and seems to be a bit of a nut when it comes to power

Call for yourself. Some vendors don't like having their products re-sold. Do you still have a car? Your sig says it's sold.

Some of us are discouraged from welding in our apartments.

The exhaust housing that comes standard with the GT42 is far too big for 13B use, even in drag applications! Alot of places in Australia will put a 1.06 housing on the GT42, a much better solution for a 13B

AJC13B you mentioned that some shops in Australia put a 1.06 housing on the GT42... do any shops have a kit available.

In Australia, there are no kits.

You buy the turbo
You get the exhaust manifold made to suit
You get the dump pipe made to suit.
You get the intercooler pipe/s made

Basically, you get everything MADE to suit. And it still works out cheaper than any kit.

So, no.
