Did me good for almost two years before I bought my 76GTQ.
Never had a problem, and it had its share of abuse! Running the wrong restrictors at first, pushing oil past the seals, smoking oil like crazy, running a bad BOV for a while, all the growing pains of being a turbo newbie.
Of course, it also had its share of runs on the highway at 9 psi.
It was a good turbo.
I've heard of bad quality ones out there.
I've also heard of Master Power having a reputation of being "uncooperative" regarding quality issues, warranty, replacements, shipping, etc.
None of the bad I've heard, however, applied to me.

We use them on 5.3L builds and they work awesome. On a side note we run no restrictor at all. We found the smoking issue to be the PCV vent lie from the valve cover. Dump that to a canister and smoking is solved. Good turbo for the money.
I ran a 70 on my 5.3L truck and will run the same one with my iron 5.7L build, ill be going with a 76 though, just for more efficient boost, not more boost pressure

Just to clear the air, I'm not mad at DrTurbo I had no intention of getting on anyones bad side I was just defending what I sell I hope that DrTurbo doesn't take it personal.
I really think that we both have beat this horse to death.
So in conclusion DrTurbo thank you for your input I hope I did not offend you with my rebuttles, but I'm sure you can understand where I'm comin from.
