Or hell go with a t6 flanged PTE t76 with a Q trim wheel thatll support 1000 rwhp on high boost.
One more thing if you plan on making 1000whp through a huge stall and a A2 you are insane, you'll be needing a more cubes under the hood.

actually the reason its so cheap has nothing to d with it being a gt45! It has all to do that the company that makes the turbo sells them for hella cheap due them being made in brazil. the mustang guys have been using them for years with hardly any problems! Its a great turbo a a junkyard kit!

Your going with a MP gt45 not a Garret gt45?
Your even in more of a world of hurt Master Power Specializes in Diesel Turbo's Sure they might work on gas engines but not nearly at teh efficiency that a Garret, IHI, or Mitsubishi turbo will.
And here are the HP ratings for each
Base gt45 900hp
gt 45-74 1050
gt45-76 1200
And it's not a 101mm turbo it has a 3.05" inducer that is equal to 77mm
Your going to have a hell of of time with that turbo good luck....lol
I would go with a 42 and make more power easier.

The MP turbo have very limited Efficiancy Islands and operational RPM (wheel rpm), they suffer from premature chokeflow at High PR Ratios. so if you plan on boosting alot your going to be hurting.
It's up to you I would wait a little longer and buy the right turbo. You've already decided on a kickass block, internals, heads and hopefully a sheetmetal manifold why not wait a few extra months?
It's your car it's up to you, i would just highly rethink your choice.

MAINLY BECAUSE I JUST WANT THIS THING TO GET GOING HONESTLY! I HAVE SEEN NOTHING BUT GREAT REVIEWS ON THEM AND THERE PROVEN! BUT THE BIGGEST REASON IS THAT A NAME BRAND GT45 RUNS AROUND WHAT 2400+ AS TO THE MP RUNS 675!
