as im sure you already know they are ebay turbos, really a hit or miss thing. i haven't heard of too many issues, just inspect it well your self when you get it and i wouldn't be too worried. on a budget its the one to get.

you are mistaken.....master power turboes are not your "ebay" turbo. they are made in brazil using ISO9001 certifications. these are not cheap knock offs,they are an affordable garret style,i run one and have had ZERO issues, 518 at 11psi last time on the dyno.

you are very right, they are GARRETT knock offs... sold very much on ebay in cheap turbo kits, yes they are their own company and such but they are still widely considered ebay turbos... i did not say anything bad so you do not need to take offense. i gave sound advice.

Yeah, i was just looking for some non biased opinions. Its hard to get a non biased opinion on a site like LS1tech where you cannot criticize sponsors.
I was debating on a MP T70 on my build.. hmm

you didnt give sound advice becuase you dont know what the f*ck your talking about...but i guess thats normal on the internet!
master power are not the cheap turbos that you are thinking of. go to ebay and type in master power, you might find a hand full compared to garretts and turbonetics,they are more rare than the higher name brands, ebay is littered with those cheap ones you are reffering to.
master power is a very good turbo for the money, retail for around $550-$600.
go here: maybe you will learn about something before you open your mouth!

to the OP, you have nothing to fear when getting a master power, no
"hit or miss"....this is coming from someone who actually uses one and actually knows what hes talking about.

+1, great site. MP is a great turbo company. many, many of the members on the turboforum use MP because they are seen as high quality while still being affordable. not everyone can afford a garrett ball bearing water cooled turbo.

lol. yep if you own it, that must mean you know everything. haha
they are cheap turbos...
How many ebay turbo kits have you bought or seen? i have seen ALOT, and not all, but some of them were equipped with master power turbos, i have not personally seen failures, but have heard of a few... don't tell me you know when you are actually the one who has no clue... you own ONE i have seen MANY. Pim not here to argue, if you think im wrong so be it, but im not.
