Master Power Turbo Opinion

What do you guys think of the cheap Master Power Turbos that are on Ebay all the time? Are they worth a damn? Do they work as well as turbonetics?

I don't think those are master turbo's.

I'm hope Modular_Turbo chimes in and clarifies.

Master Power is a great brand, and an exceptional value. Buy from a reputable dealer; too much counterfeit knock-off junk on ebay.

what are you running now? I was looking at the mpt76 but I think the 70mm is more in my range bec at some point I plan to run two 70's so I figure if I buy one now and another when I get to that step it will save me in the long run.
