Just my experience. I'm turned off of them for a while. If their reputation can get turned around in my eyes I might try one again someday, but I'd have to see a lot of good evidence. It did perform well while it worked FWIW. I already have a Garrett sitting on the shelf for my next project anyways.
Thank you

To anyone that is posting about failures,

If you don't mind I would really like to know who you bought your unit from and if it failed during the warranty or not. Also I would like to know if you were given the run around on the warranty work. Masterpower and I are taking customer service seriously, which was not given the attention it deserved before I came on board, I want to clean up its image and I want to eliminate Dealers that aren't worth a $&%@. So if you could please add a little info. It would help me immensely.

Thanks,
Rob@modularturbo

PS if a shop ripped you off I wanna know who they are "KARMA is a mean BIT@&".
I bought mine from a reputable shop, but by the time I had my build complete, headers coated, and engine tuned well enough to put some real miles on the turbos, the year warranty had expired.

But a rebuild would do what? Give me another 1200 miles before they went south again?
