I made 387 rwkw @ 12psi with the same turbo:thumbsup: so there is more in it for those that want to push it a bit further

Aah yes, I think I found some info on your car on the LS1 forum while I was doing research on what turbo to use for my kit. I wanted to push 12 through it, but didnt have a boost controller so I was limited to 9psi sadly. What exact spec T-70 did you use? Mine is a Q-Trim, unlisted specs on Master Powers site, but 69mm comp wheel and T4 exhaust

Mine was Q trim as well with a 1.0 devidded exhaust housing.

Have since upgraded to a Turbonetics TC78, but the Master power was certainly good bang for buck and never gave any problems.

Sounds like the exact same unit I used. Ive been running it for a while now, zero issues, zero oil leakage past either seal, Im happy as with the bang for buck this turbo offers :)

Cheers fellas lol. That is just giving it a bit of mild throttle until she has some boost, then giving it some wide open throttle for a moment

Might want to blank the plates off the Dyno sheet since you went to the trouble of blanking them in the pics :)
