Performance wise the T-netics unit will make a good bit more power then the MP. They have newer compressor wheel technology and the Turbine wheels are much better now too.
I have broke my share of t-netics units too, I believe they had a thrust issue for a bit there and now they are working through it.

I had two T60's on my very mild stroker, at the ls1truck race day, and only 4 passes, the Turbonetics chewed themselves up and broke the fins off. I sent them back and they didn't warranty one of them, but did the other, that was BS! Same issues, same engine, same time, this was a twin setup.
I've also had 8 of them fail on front mounts we used to install, talk about loosing out on an install and angry customers that can't get their vehicle back for weeks!
Their turn around time sux and their turbos require frequent rebuilds.
This change at TNetics must have happened recently, because what I'm talking about has happened for the last two years and just recently, this last Feb on my truck.
I will never run a Turbonetics again!!!!
Now for MasterPower, they may be cheaper, and they make more power than I've needed, but what sales me is their customer service. They sale all the rebuild parts you need, and Manny, my contact, takes care of business and even helped replace a turbo that he said had a lack of oil, within a reasonable amount of time.
I've also run my fair share of Garrett, and those are nice, but pricey. Never had one of those break either.
Never had a MP break due to manufacture!!!
MP's will make power!
My truck, 408 10 compression, stock 6L heads, stock truck intake, stock throttle body, 12psi, 821hp to the wheels! This was with two T76 MP's barely working. Spool up was great even in a light truck.
That's my experience, yours may be different,

That's how it starts out, if the blades are hitting the housing, the turbo is done, pull it off, it's not going to get any better.
Before you know it, the shaft is going to leak and you'll get oil on the maf, and the truck will run like ****.
Then, you'll look at the blades and wonder, "where in the hell did those blades go" LMAO, in your engine! Or, hopefully the intercooler caught'em.
Thanks slowlsx, just my exper, and others should know.
BTW, Turbonetics spec'd my turbos out and said they were right on.
Probably because they have so many variations and options. That looks very appealing to buyers.
The only thing holding MP back is their lack of size. Later this year, MasterPower will release their T6, 80mm and 88mm, that should enough for 99% of us. If not, mount two of them!
