Ive bought several of the ssautochrome master power t60-1 unit, the quality of casting and machining is suberb.
a few months ago I built a big stage II for a friends fd we fitted one of these units and swaped the turbine housing for a garrett 1.15 devided also, I got a call from him last night that he will be dyno tuning it with in the next few weeks so I am exited to see the results. unfortunitly because of his tight budget he will still be using stock injectors, but with the microtech it should still be able to put down some good numbers at low boost. I will let you guys know the results

hey,
I have one installed but went out of seals. I used it for 6 month at 10 psi (300 rwhp). I loved the way tha MF pulls the car. I had full boost between 3000-3500 (.84/.70). I would like to keep it as I like the quality also. I'll go to the shop tomorrow to see which parts are compatible...
do you or anyone knows how to rebiuld them and where to get the parts?

Usually it is the reverse.

This wheel seems to have a damn big inducer compared to the T-66's with the same exducer as the T-66.

I've read alot on this forum that any turbo under $1000 is crap. I'm sorry to tell you guys that are making good solid numbers and are very happy with your setups, but you're all wrong. You should be spending more money. Right Ted?

What happened? Looks like that POS turbo's bearing let loose causing the compressor (and most likely turbine also) to contact the comp housing and chew itself apart to me.

Looks the same as happened to me but not that deep...
I posted this in another thread FYI:
I tear down the "T-70" Master Power turbo this weekend before going to the shop. It was not a front or rear seal problem. It was the thrust bearing. The thrust bearing had marks from the thrust collar. The bearing and the spacer are two-piece parts (that might help in failure terms).
I went to the shop and they told me that those kinds of failures could be caused due to BOV size or lack of turbo lubrication. As per shop recommendations, I bought a TO4B Garrett rebuild kit $45 and a Garrett thrust bearing-spacer (1 piece) $25. The bolt pattern is not the same (MP 180º Garrett 160º) so we drilled to fit. The remainder of the kit fitted with no problems. Balancing was $45.
Though the root cause is uncertain, I'll install a 50 mm BOV and change the oil line.
I'll install today and let you know...

Have used several of them, ALL have been EXCELENT !
None have produced any snoke out the tailpipe.
They have "O" & "P" trim turbine wheels, & available in T-3 0r T04 Turbine Housings
The quality is fantastic. and they take a BEATTING.
At 1/2 the price of TN's, You can't beat em'.
The T-70, for a 13b street fighter is an excelent match. Makes Great power NOW.
I have a local importer (direct warehouse) close by, getting them is as easy as walking in, and picking the one I want.
Can't say enough about them.
