I've actually heard good things about these eBay units. Two of these on a big block = 1000 rwhp. One drawback is that they are physically huge and weigh close to 40 lbs.

interesting. any more input?
i could get 2 gt45's and run twin turbos. that would end up the price of one MPT70. but its no lag and plus if one was to go down, i still have the other running

I ran mine all summer, and took it off to sell and was still nice and tight. Was going to do a MPT70...but ended up buying another! Here is a link to the company that builds them....
and on my car....it weighs 35 lbs

Ive actually went with a T70 ebay turbo with a .84 AR Turbine housing. Just getting a somthing to start with. oil system will be remote as well to keep running lines to a minimum.

Hey grooms, I made about 2 #s in about a half mile run on 231, It sucked so i swapped out to a gt42 i believe was the size, The size of the gt45 ones we use, has a 4 inch inlet, 3 1/2 exhaust vband, t4 exhaust flange, 3 1/4 outlet, i think .96 exhaust cant remember the intake side off hand right this minute
