Master power Turbos?

Looking at making a transaction through ebay for a master power T70 from a seller whose id is Miketurbo Inc. Anyone have experience with this seller. They're out of florida. They are supposed real Master power turbo dealers. Seller emailed me personal pics of turbo itself. Also the seller has a 100% feedback from all customers. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with them and if they are legit. Thanks

1st its a ebay sell
not a any web forum sell

so it is very very very very easy to verify a sellers reputation

click on the numbers next to there name
and that will take you there feedback from buyers

click on the buyers transaction and it will show what they bought from the seller

Like i said the sellers feedback is 100%. They currently don' t have any more turbos for sale on ebay. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with them personally. Don't know how easy it would be to make knockoff masterpower turbos, but i suppose it could be done. Plus if i paypal and something is not up to description, i'm pretty sure i could take that up with paypal. Thanks

Master Power isn't a hugely popular brand, so I don't think anyone would choose to knock them off. Beware as their "t70" isn't really a true t70, it's actually a little smaller. Like said though if the seller has 100% positive feedback on ebay then go with paypal. Paypal let's you contest the transaction for 30 days if there are any issues.

out of turbo's?

He has 15 available
and there is a few on Ebay right now he is selling

another seller in TX (non ebay but good reputation)
has 5 available and can be had with a .96 turbine housing for $615


Do not confuse the ssautochrome fake T-70
with the Master Power T-70
they have more then proven themselves
especially in the domestic auto performance market

and it a True 70 wheel

Yeah the turbo i'm looking at is a master power T70/t3 .96 ar. Selling it to me for $550 plus the vband kit, which is like $60. So it sounds like a good deal, just wanted some feedback. Plus like mentioned, paypal should cover if something is wrong or not as described. Thanks

I've got one of their T70's; the real one, not the Stone Mountain Racing or whatever it is one that's the cheapie knock-off. We ran this T70 on an half-bridge 13B and it performed surprisingly well. I took the compressor housing off also and measured the compressor wheel -- minor is like a T70 and the major is like a T66. The housing isn't diametrically as wide as a Turbonetics T66 or T70; it has a footprint alot like the TO4E's. As far as its performance, I think it's still a good choice over your garden variety TO4B.

one thing i fear is that the R&D hasn't been done with these ebay turbos, most of the time they copy specs from a current design rather than creating a part that has been tested.

I agree with thi s on some of the eBay turbos. However, the genuine Master Power line isn't an eBay thing; they're a Brazilian outfit that's ISO 9001 compliant and appears to be a high dollar operation.

The t-70 will spool very well since its still a medium sized t-series compressor only 3.58" mayor. so this with the p trim wheel still has gd compressor/ turbine ratio.

obviously the responce will depend a lot on porting and manifold design but on stock port with gd manifold you should see boost and strong torque start at 4000rpm with the 1.00ar and 3.5rpm with .84ar.

For 480whp this must have been a very conservative tune. The compressor of the t-70 is rated at aprox 80lbs or 800+hp. so this compressor is a gd combo for 600whp.

if your looking for 450 range then you will have much better results with a gt37 or t-60 these both use much smaller compressor mayors so will have much better boost response over the t-70.

I think a well tuned 13b with a large housing like 1.00ar should be able to achieve 450+whp with best response. I would not be surprised if 500whp is also achievable with both these turbos.

The t-70 on the other hand using a large gt Qtrim turbine and 1.00ar will be ideal for large dyno figures.

The t-70 will also be suitable if you intend to run with .84 p trim turbine, chocking the power a little but making up for it with high boost ie 24psi. This combo will give you massive immediate torque for hi performance street car.

There’s so many suitable combos but all really depend on the driving style and max psi you want to tune to achieve a certain hp level.

I guess you have to start by knowing the limit of boost you want to run to choose your compressor. Then chose the turbine and housing based on max dyno hp or max response giving widest power with less measured peck power.

Hope that make sense and helps you with out confusion.

Well said!

I am sure he is referring to my 480hp dyno. The t-70 was in no way maxed out, it has alot of steam left in it and I am sure someone could make more on the same boost.

t70

I have installed these on a few cars with goob results.Bought them from Mike however I had him put a garrett 1.00 t4 divided housing for a extra 100.I advise doing the same if you get one as the t4 master power housings are not divided.
