    76mm Turbonetics .96 AR

    I like it but I think for a 6.0 the ar is a little too big might should have a .88ar
    Otherwise I love it. I have heard some horror stories about turbonetics eating themselves and taking the motor with it when pieces of the turbine wheel go into the motor.
    I have reall good things about master power turbos.
    99RCSB Broke because I wasted thousands and thousands of dollars on my truck.

    garrett or master power seem to be bigger on a lot of other forums (for different cars)

    turbonetics is also a very large player in the game (seems like that is number 1 choice around here), lots of horror stories, but if enough people run them, that will happen no matter what.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    Actually i would say the Master Power has the majority over here.

    Master Power 70mm with .96 a/r Here. I like mine but also dont have anything else to compare it to.

    God created turbo lag so nitrous trucks could have a chance.

    I run an 82mm (formerly 80mm before rebuild). I bought it used. The turbine housing is a Turbonetics. The compressor is a ITS. ITS is Innovative Turbo Systems which is now out of business but the same guys now operate Comp Turbo. No complaints about the turbo. Get's the job done.
