There was an awesome deal on turbos from Master Power on Turbomustangs.com ....T-70 was one ofthe choices. Good for 840fwhp with the tangential housing.

I have a turbonetics t-70 ball bearing center section for 250.00. You would still need the housings but should be able to get those at a good price.

The BB one sounds nice... might want to jump on that.

If not then the GP price was around $500-$550 shipped depending on if and which exhaust housing you got. Just PM Jim on that site.. he was the one doing the GP. He is super nice and really helpful.

Does that come with the wheels or is that just the center section and shaft?

I have an almost new (500 miles) PTE T76 GTS (1,100fwhp) for sale. It is a much better match for a 5.7L engine than a T70 (had one and sold it). It has a 3" V band flange (I'll throw both the clamp and pipe side flange), .96A/R, tang. mount. I make full boost by 3,200. This turbo is making 600rwhp on my low compression LS6 motor @ 12psi and isn't yet in its sweet spot. I'm going to a 427CI motor and need to upgrade to a T88. I'm doing some test fitting now to see if it works. If it does, I'll be upgrading to a T88. Take my advice and do it right the first time. You'll save money in the long run. I am selling the unit for $1,200 shipped, cost $1,525 new.

If you plan to make big hp, then like Earl said the T70 is a little to small. You will go well past the choke line very quickly.

I am putting this on a Silverado SS and i wanted it to spool a little faster than full boost @ 3200 rpm. I am only looking to make around 550-600rwhp so i think a t-70 should be fine. Does anyone have a phone # website/e-mail for Joe @ Turbo Performance Systems. Thanks

The MP with .68 A/R housing will probably be your best bet then. Plus these are not large shaft turbos so they will spool even quicker. Some pics of the unit below.

Jose, or anyone

do you think the .68 A/R will bottle up a little, I have ported heads 2.055/1.60 valves, cam, and shift at 6200 in first gear currently. i was thinking .84 A/R or even .96. Give me some opinions

Thanks Eric

Are you putting it in the engine bay or rear of the truck?

It is going directly under the passenger seat, under the truck, so it is about 5 to 6 feet closer to the front than the STS kit is

That BB center section should spool pretty fast.
and i would do a .96 AR if you want 550-600rwhp, youll choke off to early with anything lower.
