You are gonna be in for quite a shock when you see those comparison pix! I've seen a GT42 in person once and had to do a triple take.

It's much more dramatic seeing those in person.
Obviously they're progressively larger in diamater, but also in length.
When looking at them in stunning 3D, you'll see a huge difference in size.

Pretty damn cool. Can't wait to slap that puppy on! (35/40) Though, now I may have turbo envy...

I'm glad that we're all so nice to each other here. Though I would've posted the same thing as DCrosby.

Sorry to dig this up from the dead. I found this searching for the gt42 since I'm considering putting one on my ls1 converted car.

I have to say, that's not just larger than the 3540, it's as big as the friggin engine! I like it.

The kit or the turbo itself?

see that thread. That was the last I was quoted for just the turbo, but you may want to call or e-mail Sean as he won't be able to post prices on here.

On the second page there is a comparison with a 42 and a 47. The gt47 is for a customer of his.

A picture of his daughter and a gt42.
Dave is holding the gt47.
