I'm thinking of turbo'ing my 4.2 petrol just wondering what size turbo to use so it boosts up at the right RPM?

in your eyes what is the 'right' RPM?

going through this at the moment....

Garrett turbos

GT3582
T4 .86 exhaust

tight ass turbos

VL upgrade turbos (70 front 84 rear)
T70

those turbos are all around the same size but only the GT35 is watercooled

GT30 or GT35

Try get an ex xr6 turbo.

t3t4 works sweet as well spools at 1500 to redline

What manifold are you using?

xr6 turbo's are a bit laggy, use a gt35/40 same as xr6 but with a .8 exhaust instead of a 1.0 delivers nice gentle strong power all the way, it is the turbo i'll be putting on my tow car, hopefully before outback.

This might be a bit over the top....
