I've ran a T72 bb on my truck for a while, worked well and made good power for its size. I've sold a dozen or so with my Kits and haven't had any problems with them. One of my customers as ran mid 10's in a 2wd RCSB truck with a 4.8 and a T72 Magnum.

Good Buddy of mine on here ran a pair of their 76's last year, seemed to work pretty damn good! Here is his build thread! https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...ustang-15.html

These are a better turbo than Master Power, right? Not that MP was bad for what they were. I've just heard bits and pieces on why Magnum came about. And I'm still not clear on that. Anyone? Anyone?

Basically Masterpower had a lot of military and industrial contracts to fill so they couldn't support their performance turbos anymore. We decided to make our own turbo with their help and with the help of some of their parts suppliers.

We ended up with a better product and we are no longer at the mercy of someone else. Hence the arrival of the XT80.
