Yes we stopped carrying them due to lots of returns, slow delivery times and 6+ months for warranty work. Some of the units were coming out of the box new with wheels already touching the housing. Turbos and wastegates are not where you skimp. You get what you pay for in those parts.

I have a pair of MP T70s on my car, they both died right off but it was a oil starvation problem, turbos did not get enough oil to meet the requirements of MP.

Also MP doesn't tell you the T70's they sell are small shafts. So be careful if you plan to torture the setup

Yes BWA is probably the toughest unit out there. We carry and test all their latest and greatest wheels and units. Their big S-series units are pretty dang near impossible to break. We have tortured them on the biggest diesels and never have failures. Remarkable indeed.

I would go with twin 67's. Quicker spool then the 70's and more power as well. Lethal package indeed.

How much power you looking to make, I will soon(within the next month) be selling my Turbonetics 60-1 HI-FI turbos that I put down 751 RWHP @14 psi on 93 octane with. One is damaged and will need repair though. I would look for a turbo like this for a street car, They are good for a solid 800 RWHP, and are very compact.
