I have one on my VL. It was missing an oil seal, and as soon as the oil got hot it blew smoke, got it fixed ( Was about $200 ) and have not had any more problems with it. My VL is Auto, and currently makes 320rwhp at 15psi.

master power turbos are (from all reports) machined down to smaller sizes from a large T04 style wheel, front and back. so each one is not specifically sized and designed individually with regards to fin pitch, rake etc, they are just whacked in a lathe and ground down to fit in smaller housings than the large blank they came from. so essentially they are cheap because they use an old style blade design. the yanks swear by them, and as you can see from other people here also ^^^ they appear to do the job quite well for the price.

great thanks for the info, this could do the job perfectly for a cheap replacement hi flow turbo that im looking for... only downside i can see with the one above is it seems to require an external wastegate...which would go over my 1k limit... do master power make one with an internal one?

I only recently sold an external wastegate on ebay for about $50. Advertised it on here and no one was interested!
