Maybe you should mount the motor on the side and the turbo in the center

Its bigger! Fittment was an issue but sean at aspec waved his magic
wand and this is where it landed. We are in the process of casting
a new mid manifold with 4 injector bosses and equal length runners,
so when the maniflod is finished we will be able to run 4X1600 secondaries which we will need!!!! We will post dynoruns after the
ugraded manifold is done approx 2weeks. Ralph Thx Sean!!!!

We changed the outlet of the housing to fit for street use, 5inch just would not fit. We still have the air conditioning and power steering working in this car!

They could fit a 4.5 " DP, 5" wouldn't fit with the way everything had to be positioned, it could of fit but would be horribly tight and it's tight enough already.

you'll be very surprised how fast it will spool up.
The GT42 is a very serious turbo.

The GT turbos have larger housings - the wheels themselves aren't necessarily that big. Don't confuse a large compressor housing with a large wheel.

Compressor wheels on the 42R are 94mm and 102mm, I wouldn't call them small either. Both are pretty mutch the same as a T51 KIA and SPL, only they are both BB, and both are slightly higher rated.

We have a fully loaded street car with stock flywheel, 530 gears, kazz lsd and hopefully big enough *****.It should spool pretty good and if it doesnt the owner said he would put the turbo, where the sun doesnt shine.Our biggest problem is fuel supply, were running 4Xbosch pumps
for quiteness and going to run 2X850 and 4X1600cc injectors. This car is sick, its running 345-25-Zr20s Pzeros on back with I forged 20s all
around. Ill post some pics when the fittment is don. The only thing missing is a radar detector. Ralph
