too small but it will make extra power up to a certain point. You could get a better sized turbo on ebay for a few hundred dollars...
yeah i know that i could get one off ebay but i already have this and basically got it for 150 brand new. what kind of hp numbers would i possibly see and what work would be needed to make my 2v handle the turbo? about how much money also..

with a 42mm I dont think you would need to build the motor because I doubt that it will make much more than 400whp (i could be wrong). The only thing you need to worry about on a turbo gt is floating the exhaust valves under boost. Its a very good idea to put in some upgraded valvesprings. Youll need some fuel mods too. Like 42lb injectors, svt focus pump, and at least a lightning mass air flow meter.
anyone else have any suggestions/ lsi killer do you have any numbers pics or vids of your car?
just get a bigger one... you can get a Master Power 76mm for 550$
yeah but with that size turbo wouldnt i need to do a lot of internal work??? i was hoping with this 42 trim i could run about 9 lbs and just do fuel mods and not have to realy mess with internals.? anyone with suggestions please list price of turbo and kit needed if there is a kit..
no, you could run 9lbs with this one too. This turbos good till about 850rwhp, and its only 550$ NEW
how much money would it cost me to do a whole set up with this turbo if anyone know???? what al would i need as well?
bare bones setup would run you about 35-3800$ total

or he could get a 62mm that spools much faster and is good to 650whp....
+2 on what they said. no point in using that small of a turbo and second do not buy one off of ebay. that will be your first and last mistake because you will have nothing left. 62mm like ls1killer suggested is good with a quick spool efficency, i had a 70mm on mine and didn't have a problems spooling, saw full spool/boost around 3100 rpm, and the 76mm suggested is also a great buy if you're considering going bigger in the future.

A .42 trim is TINY...i had one of those a few years back that i was going to be using on a turbo saturn. The saturn was a 1.9l twin cam...and i ended up not going with it because they run out of steam up top..i cant imagine what it would be like on a 4.6...
