Anybody running a masterpower turbo? If so how do you like it and what are your numbers??

 

Masterpower turbos (the real Masterpower) are made in Brasil and have a decent track record for its use and durability. The only problem is that they were never really made in the T3/T4 configuration that is similar to Garrett, so usually they wind up being a victim of the ebay "fakeness". (most were in a configuration that was akin more to a tractor or truck.. small compressor inducer and housing, with an extremely large exhaust wheel and turbine housings.) Very few of the real Brasillian versions exist in the U.S., so if you have the actual one, consider yourself lucky. Otherwise, you may not get much input on this particular company of turbochargers unless they were rebuids from their original construction.

 

I talked to vs racing in texas and they make alot of t3/t4 and t4 turbos. There t70 looks like it might be nice. Vs is a us dist.

 

there t70 spools extremely late. its very very laggy. but its cheap. and master power turbos arent bad.

 

what housing did or do you have??
What is late spool to you??

 

i use master power no problems here love it made 517whp on a Ls. my dad and his crew race them and beat on them plenty 8 sec passes for 5 years and never broke one... Good Turbos.

 

they are better known with turbo mustang guys and rotarys.

 

I love my Master Power just make sure to buy from a reputable place. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

 

Awesome ,i think will go with them

 

I built a kit for a friend using the masterpower 60-1 and he ran it for quite some time I wanna say 20k miles? then sold his car. so I say go for it.

 

i had a T70 on my camaro .. ran good and made decent power. the price was outstanding

 

I used to sell these Turbo's here in South Africa - we got them directly from Brazil

There are combinations that are very close to stage 2 and stage 3 T3/T4's but there are also some odd sizes like the shodan mentioned !

Also just consider that the T70 for example isn't always a T70 Turbonetics/Garrett equivalent in size and flow ! The same with the "T66 Masterpower" its actuallly a 64mm comp inducer from what I remember !!

The smaller T3/T4's spool OK and make decent numbers but the bigger sizes are laggy compared to some other alternatives !

As a bargain Turbo - I think the Holset's are better !

 

Good input
