Hey all, I just got my Trick Stage 2 kit. I opted for their offshore 76mm turbo. I'm considering contacting them and trying to exchange it for a Precision unit, or other. Any thoughts on this? My combo will be a basic 5.3L LM7, Tick turbo truck cam, E85, AEM methanol kit, 4L80e + Circle D converter. A pretty standard build, but I want to put some miles on this truck. I'm worried about the offshore turbo longevity, or should I be? Anyone with high mileage on their offshore turbo?

 

I have 20,000 on my off shore 70mm turbo from trick, and have no issues to date.

 

i have 60K Buffalo NY miles on my MP 70mm from Trick with no issues at all.

 

To choda, is that a Magnum? Or master power? I have seen lots of people using "mp" just wasn't sure what they were referring to. Mine is magnum fwiw.

 

Mine is a Magnum

 

Masterpower hasn't been around in many yrs. Magnum took over for master power

All of the chinese turbos lately seem to do well vs previous yrs ago.

Some will tell ya Magnum is Brazil but it has Chinese parts

Fyi

 

Magnum isn't around any more either. Same guy who was importing the Master power when they quit shipping state side started importing the Magnums. Then he started another business and pretty much let his turbo business die.

I quite buying them a couple years ago because everything was always "3 weeks out" and he never got anything in. Hard to sell turbo kits when you can't get turbos!! lol But I have to agree with George, the longevity of the Chinese turbo's has gotten a lot better.
