They're not really an upgrade in my experience if you are referring to the EP71 CT12?
Years ago when I was building hybrid ct9s for customers the best combo I found as using a CT9 from a Previa van as the front cover of the turbo was larger so had more meat to spin out on the lathe to accommodate bigger compressor wheels. With the stock 4efte CT9 i'd have to weld around the snout to create enough material to machine into. Anyway, point is that in stock form the Previa CT9 might be worth a try. Ultimately your better off going to a TD04 or something which is proven to be a worth while upgrade.
