I have 2 of them, one still new in the box waiting for a project and I ran the other on my truck for about a month. Was too big for my 4.8, but seemed like a really nice turbo, and a lot quieter then the T-60 I have on it now. Took longer to spool, but felt stronger to the butt dyno

I've sold a couple and one did great and the other didnt make it to the street. I'm a little gun shy now. I sure wish they did better though.

If you want a budget turbo then go with a TC series unit, which can be had all the way up to a 76mm. Its a bit more, but you do get what you pay for.

I can't speak for Dr. Turbo, so correct my post if wrong. I think alot of the angst distributors feel against the manufacturer (MP, Brazil) is that the units that have shown problems become very difficult to process, warranty work and whatnot, with MP because of distance, shipping, and maybe even some service-related issues. Luckily, mine has never acted funny. It's coming off the car now, and I will check it thoroughly to make sure it still spins like new.

One of the ones that don't fall apart!!!

Seriously, your chances are good. Do a search on TurboMustangs and of users here, and I believe the overall experience with them is satisfactory... If you want ZERO problems, go Turbonetics (like my T-76GTQ). You may still get a bad one, but nothing beats the Turbonetics warranty.
