will any of these or his other items go allright for my engine, im not after big hp or nothing i just want to help the old girl up the hills thats all, i maybe will have it to kick in at about 1500rpm and under 12psi,
i will also be looking at one of those $200 intercoolers aswell and run it out the front,,,

will these work, and how or where do i hook up the wastegate on the second link???

thanks

Id say the exhaust housing is to small for the 4.2L in the 1st link

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:
this is it Image
