Pretty sure it's not a GT42. The outside diameter of the compressor looks different and the exhaust housing is HUGE, with a tiny downpipe.



This is a standard GT42 with the 102mm wheel. They have a 5" downpipe.

Yeah that's the first thing I noticed, how HUGE the exhaust housing is. The compressor looks flat, unlike the picture you have.
Yah, I noticed that.



4RR that's a Y2K from Turbonetics.

it's not necessarily a gt42, but it's gt42 style turbo. a lot of companies make a similar type turbo, such as schwitzer and borg warner.
