that does not look good as far as turbos are concerned. Looks very cheap. Buying a turbo means needing some info from the buyer ex. what size motor, power goals, drag race or other use?

If you're wanting a budget turbo, go with either a Masterpower T70 or Turbonetics TC76, thats just my opinion

400-420 at the wheels. it will be a DD so low boost is going to be trying for

mpt 70 will do it for a little more coin and its proven.

for that tiny amount of hp just do head and cam... not really worth turbo'ing for such small gains

well im a conservative thinker... what you guys think i can get out of a 8-10 psi setup on a 5.3?

About 500rwhp. Your talking about the LM7 or LMM block right? I saw 380/400 at 6psi on one of my old set-ups.

According to the specs, the compressor wheel is only 53mm. It has a rather large housing for the actual wheel size. I would be surprized to see anything over 450wh.
Oh and it's a T3. You'll need 2 of these to see any gains. If you're gonna go cheap, at least pony up another $100 more to get 60+mm in a T4.

don't buy those Chinese turbos. it is really not worth saving 100 buck when the turbo exhaust wheel will disintegrate, go in to your oil pan and damage the motor.

master power turbos are the cheapest you can get away with. talk to madularturbo, i am sure he will work a good deal out for you.


or you can get a used turbo from a powerstroke diesel and use that if you can not afford a t70. and to be honest with you if you can not afford a t70 you should not be thinking of going FI

good luck

thanks for the input guys. ive never really heard of the paster power turbos. ive mainly ben looking at the garret and turbonetics, which are way too much for me. MP looks about my price

Completely disregarding the fact that it's a $160 turbo, I'll say that it's way way too small. Most say a 76 is too small for a v-8 and a 70 is way to small. That's a 53. I have a 51 on my jet ski. A 53 mm turbo will max out around 450 fwhp on a properly sized engine - much less on a large v-8. I'd be surprised if you broke 370 rwhp with that turbo max'd out.

Garrett rates their similar turbo at 480 hp max, and I guarantee the aero in a Garrett is superior.
