Doesn't tell you compressor wheel size.
What is a stage 5 turbine wheel?

It looks to be no bigger than a 60-1, just comparing the compressor wheel to the 4" inlet...

If it was me I would just spend a few hundred more dollars and get a turbo thats fitted to your application and goals.

lol do not bid on that turbo. ITs the same as the turbo xs and ssautochrome t70. Notice the turbine housing doesnt have any markings on them, and when you read the caption on top of the picture, he says that is not the picture of his turbo.. I tell you one thing, that turbo is not worth the money, he has done the same sceam(sp) many times. He buys the ssautochrome turbos and sells them for higher price, because people think its the same looking turbo on the pics..

yep i agree thats just a highly polished stone racing t70 from ssautochrome. looks nice though amazing what $40 and a visit to your local polish shop can do.

Yep , but its not a Garrett , every single ball bearing Garret turbo I've come across (and thats many , if you were wondering) is cooled by both oil and water .

Notice in his description he says "like turbonetics". Turbonetics turbos have a T on them....the turbo he has there has had all lettering removed and polished. I would bet the house that this is the master power T70 super T70 turbo BS that ssautochrome sells for $250 or whatever. It has the same specs and I'm not even going to take a look at one but I am going to go out on a lim and say it has the same compressor housing design. Not to mention that this is a T3 turbo...not a T4...you would need to have a manifold custom made for you....maybe one of those manifolds for the GT35r or whatever would work...anyway this auction is BS

First of all master power turbos are $600+ and although affordable there are members on this forum who have used the turbo and had success with it. I currently have one and its great..

That is the same turbo, its not ball bearing, I had the unfortunate chance of actually purchasing this turbo, never ran it bought it out of curiosity. And upon inspection that turbo is better off being used as a toy or paperweight than used on any car....
