Hi all, just giving an update. Got the turbo back for 79HSV. its a GT42r with a HKS T51r SPL rear on it. Reason for the rear, is my manifold was designed for a T51r and It could be changed. Hopefully my plan will come together and it will bring the boost on quicker due to the GT bearings in the turbo. As to the old T51r SPL....
