ok, i'm happy to hear this before buying such stuff!

the numbers, BNR is claiming to reach with his upgrades are nice! but i would wonder if there wasn't some boost decrease in the upper rpm regions, like on all stock turbos! this is the most annoying fact, 'cause the rotary is developping such spicy rev's if provided with enough air!

don't post if you don't know what your talking about. Master Power turbos are fine and have been proven so over and over again!

One does have to wonder why their products are cheaper price wise than garrett though..

As much as the supporters like to claim, I put Master Power in the same category as the SSAutoChrome / XS-Power crap.

Almost any turbo will do this, unless you happen to size the turbine A/R perfect or slightly oversized.
If you're worried about boost drop-off, then go with an electronic boost controller - that should fix it.

I really don't give a ****.
Go reread my response.
It is my personal opinion that they are crap.
I would never run one on my personal car, period.
End of discussion.
I really don't want to get into another debate over how good / bad these brands are.

my neighbor had a MP turbo in his diesel work truck. the compressor housing split onto a pieces when he started up one day. MP was called and they told him, oops a assemblier must have over torqued the housing bolts which lead to the failure. BS!! cast quality is CRAP!!

no reviews on the BNR's??

anyone can recommend them??
Ive heard nothing but great things about his turbos. I live just 5 minutes up the road from where his shop is. He certainly knows what he is doing when it comes to RX7's and turbos for them. He has a gold S5 that I think hese running one of his Stage 2's on, dont quote me on that though. That thing is BAD ***!!! As soon as I get some money rounded up in the next month or 2 I will be buying one of his Stage 2's and some other mods

Yes you will see slight decreases in boost at high rpm, but like someone already said thats pretty normal, especially when dealing with a hybrid. I dont find it to be enough to be a problem though, might see a few psi drop over 6000-6500rpm, but again, pretty normal stuff

it's always a good thing to hear some recommendations from someone that's nearby an knows about the shop!
