Performance & Application
The G42-1200 is designed for builds targeting extreme horsepower levels while maintaining strong throttle response thanks to its ball-bearing core. The T4 divided turbine housing with 1.15 A/R supports pulse-separated exhaust energy for improved spool characteristics relative to a comparable non-divided housing, while still enabling the turbo to reach its full 1200HP capability. This assembly suits high-boost, high-output performance builds where both response and top-end power are priorities. It is well suited to enthusiasts pushing well beyond stock power levels who need a single turbo solution capable of supporting four-digit horsepower figures.
