Its nice that you can run the piping for you intercooler around the outsides of the rad, I am in the process of building a intercooler and I cant do that because I have the bigger rad. (32in I belive) I am trying to figure out a good way to run the piping. Beautiful welding by the way.

It's the 53 trim compressor which is the 74mm inducer. The turbine side is the T-4 .128 A/R housing. On Garrett's website I only see two options for the 42; a 56trim w/ a 70mm inducer/94mm exducer and a 53 trim with what I have already stated. I don't see 76mm inducer 42. Is that new?
