lets take a vote on turbo selection.

id like a bb turbo, and turbonetics isnt out of the question. since its a HEAVY street car lol. 65 pontiac big car, id like a faster spooling turbo with plenty of "low end torque", top end hp is not my concern because honestly the thing is a boat and doesnt have great suspension. :}. Drturbo, would you agree then that a turbonetics tc70 would get the job done?

i run a garrett gt42 on my 5.3 and love it. Yes they are very expensive compared to almost any other brand but they are quality units. I went 10.72 on the first pass out with mine. BUT if your looking to save some $$ there are alot more options out there

I like to laugh when people say they've heard bad things on master power even tho a couple years back in car craft a 1970 chevelle with a 540 had two of them on it and made some stupid 1400rwhp on pump gas

It's looking like their quality is back on track now however.

ive read that maintenance is key because the turbo is the last to see oil pressure and is sensitive to debris etc, i think i might be sold on the tc series of turbos, id like to send in a turbo application sheet to turbonetics directly and see what they have to say. the tc66, 70, and 72 all look like good maps to me. when should i be in the center efficiency island? at mid range or top end? im still very new to turbo selection and how it affects vehicle performance. thanks for all the input guys.

i have no doubt that they are capable of power production, but i wont let a magazine control my way of thinking. i like real world results and unbiased opinions from people who have used the products without being paid to do so.
