There is a GT42 wheel with 70.3mm inducer, 94mm exducer, trim 56, which goes with a 0.60 A/R cover that can flow 80+ lbs/min (turbo would be called GT4294), and another wheel with 74.3mm inducer, 102.3mm exuder, trim 53 which also goes with a 0.60 A/R cover that flows 90+ lbs/min (GT4202). Don't know which is nuted and which is not (correct term for the later will be "bore-less"), but I guess it will be the larger one, since this new technology is to make big wheels more rigid.

The GT4294 that I have has a nut. I joined the forums to find out more on this turbo that I have.

This thing is huge, I mean the damned thing is 53lbs of remanufactured steel and iron. I don't see how this could be used on anything less than a diesel truck.

Anybody out there that I could get some pointers from to see if this thing is if use to anybody?

ok That turbo has the 70/71 mm wheel

as you can see in this picture
this GT42 has the nut part "built" into the wheel


The problem I heard coming from some Turbo Mustang people
is that wheel can come loose

For Competition/high performance (non truck use)
They use one that has a seperate nut
like a T series turbo would have

Once I get my car back from Fuego's
cage is 95% done just needs some touch up
and he also installed my new suspension (AGX and Ground Control Coil over kit)
car is now lowered

I'll sell ya the turbo soon
