Depends on what manifold you get? are you going to low mount or high mount it?

I have an AXT turbo which i think is a T2 size :? & that is designed for the TD42 & works well

I don't mind the smaller turbo as the boost kicks in allot lower & with the pump wound up is quite quick :D

The bigger turbo's, the T04E is what i think lots of guys run are good as they are rollerbearing, cost more too setup but should be better in the long run

I have been in Matt's Yellow GU & wow thats quick! not sure exactly whats done but i think its just the stock GU motor with T04E turbo & the pump wound up & that thing gets ups & boggies :lol:
