How will a TC76 perform compared to an MPT70 or MPT76?
Stack a TC78 Aginst the supposed Bad Boy MPT88

Guys on a strict budget, sure go for the Master Power turbos.
Guys that want the most out of thier setups spend the $$$ for a quality unit.
I myself will not put a Master Power turbo on one of my setups.

Why even bother with the P-trim wheel. The F1 wheel is a damn near standard option on the TC series of turbos. A MPT76 doesnt hold a candle to the TC76. Period. I have seen the Maps personaly, Hence the reason I wont offer a Master Power anything on my setups. Trending Topics

The TC series have a smaller compressor housing (same size wheels),
make a little less power tham the T series Turbonetics, but spool faster and are much more compact if your pushed for space in the engine bay or under car if rearmount.

Is it a drastic difference in physical size between the TC76 and T76? A friend is giving me a hell of a deal on a Turbonectics T76, only 10hrs of run time, for $750. But if I can save a substantial amount of space I may opt for a TC76, do you guys think the price of that T76 is good?

Interesting thread. Up until now, I've been basing my 5.3 build (I'll figure out the 6.0 later) around a MP76. This thread has me thinking twice. So, given a 5.3 w/ported 6.0 heads, '03 Zo6 cam, 3400 stall, and a target of 15psi....what might be my best choice going with Turbonetics?
Sorry...not meaning to hijack the thread...this just has me curious.
Oh, and I guess I might have a new mp76 for sale

Budget?? LOL Yeah, I WAS on a budget...'till I passed the 23k mark being sucked from my wallet. I originally intended to spend 10-12k, but now realize that I'm into this thing way too much to turn back. Along the way, dependability became very important as I decided this car needs to have daily-driver ability. I had read that many folks here were very happy with MP, so I went with them. Maybe I should have read a little more?
There's nothing wrong with MP turbos, your comparing a $750 turbo against a $1000+ turbo... I haven't heard of any one failing a MP turbo in a LONGGGGG time and there's plenty of them out there. The MP Q-trims are brand new and not a lot of guys running them yet. Since the turbine wheel is only about 2mm smaller then a F-1 Turbonetics wheel (67mm vs 69mm), power should be in the same ball park. I don't think you could tell much of a difference unless you where actually maxing out both units, then the Turbonetcis should be good for a few more HP.
