The horsepower depends on tune and boost, are you gonna run high boost with race gas, or nice streetable car. The question is this streetable? anything can be streetable it depends on what your idea of "streetable" is.

I actually have one of these turbos. They are NOT a true T70, and the bearings are garbage in them. I ran it about 12k miles on a 3.1L V6 (Chevy motor). It spooled decently well, and ran hard on the top end (hey, it's a 60.5mm inducer - you WILL get some airflow from it).

That being said, I would not run it as is. I would send it off to someone like Jon @ MDCMotorsports to have him go through it, work it over, and then use it - if that is the route you wanted to go.

On a 7MGTE, based on my experience, you will get 14 psi by 4500rpm - but I would not, under any circumstances, expect the turbo to last on a daily driver. It's a T4 'P' trim wheel, in a tangential housing with a T3 footprint. I have seen one person running it on a 7M, and they were putting down about 420rwhp.

Honestly, you could do better than the ebay T70.

So its only a T04 with a 0.70AR Compresor?
So u think the turbo is not good for the 7m?

420 sounds low for a turbo that big!


If it looks like shit and tastes like shit, good thing you didn't step in it.

I have a MasterPower T-70, totally different turbo. (Not made in China, it's made in Brazil, and the quality is as nice as anything I've seen from Garrett or others.)

It was about 600.00 USD by the time I got it shipped to me.

Looks great, but I actually have not used it yet.. LOL
