Once again thanks! What we're settling on at this point is a 48.5mm port, a 102mm GT42R w/T6 hotside, twin 65mm throttle bodies, and undetermined wastegate.
We'll see how it works... I'm afraid the TBs will be too big but they're a stock Ford TB that's used in everything under the sun so they're uber cheap. I've been trying to find a Ford twin blade 54mm that's used in the V10s but have had no luck so far.
The car came back from the chassis shop with the cage last week and they're working on our new axle right now. We're not looking to set records...just to have some rowdy fun at our local strips.

The 42R arrived today. It came via USPS and my mail lady is this sweet little old lady. I had to help her get the turbo out of her car. Sure everyone has seen pics of a 42R but here it is sized against the PT61 that was on the car last year before the ownder decided to take it off the street, for the most part, and make a drag car out if it.

I have been thinking about letting my dad who wants to make a turbo PP12a, use my MFR housings. he wanted to use a 1.36 a/r T04 housing on the hot side and a .70 a/r on the cool side. i was thinking the cool side needed to be bigger. Would this be an appropriate sized turbo?
