So basically the smaller the housing the quicker the spool but less power potential? I kinda want a bit of both street and strip I guess lol.. I spoke to 6boost regarding rear housings he said the 1.01 and 1.28 had no difference in lag but the 1.28 picked up 60rwhp up top

You really need to have a think about your setup champ, coz a 42 is not your normal street turbo haha. Well sure it will work, but she is on the large size of huffers that's for damn sure.

I'm guessing you may find people using that turbo in the 500+ rwkw section on this site, and well when you are up at that level there are not to many stock components left in the lower end of the engine lol.

If you are going to be doing a more street then strip use, you may even want to have a think about unloading that one and making a few $$ on it if ya got it cheap and check out the GTX3582's. But that's just something to have a think about.

and yah the lower the number the smaller housing and the faster the spool, but smaller will also limit the higher rpm hp.

Might want to sit down and write a few things down and see which path you want to take, coz a 42 is the "no joke" path lol.

From your last post, I would probably recommend a 1.28 rear housing.

I have no experience in this turbo, but you sound like your hungry for power so don't hold back mate , just do it.
