the wheel size in mm´s

would this not require taking it apart, meaning it would not be properly balanced after?

no, you can use a little metal item and fit it across the wheel, then measure the length of it, or if you have one of those sliding calipers you can put that in a use to measure,.

hmmm, thats a much better idea. I will do that when i get home tomorrow... anyways, what do you figure is a good turbo for 20, and or 25 psi on the m42, with as little lag as possible, and within a reasonable price range.

yup, diesel turbos are really efficient.  They are big enough to get all the power you want of of them too.

I am going to be using a Garrett gt2860RS for fast spol upp and ok HP good for 300hp. Compressor 47.2mm 60.0mm TRIM 62 A/R 0.60 turbin 53.8mm trim 76 A/R 0.64. your turbo had an A/R 1,15 it to bigg for any low respons. you coud be go for gt2871R for more HP. all the Garret GT are similar to diesel in spool upp.
