are you aware that there are a lot of chinese knock off turbochargers and even tial wastegates with the cast/imprint brand logo on them that looks very similar to the real thing?
another popular scam is to buy a turbonetics housing (to get the turbonetics logo) and use fake parts for everything else. did you also know that turbonetics comes with a one year no-questions-asked replacement warranty? you won't get that warranty buying one on ebay even if it is real. sometimes it's worth spending the extra money and buying from a reputable seller. here's a writeup on fake tials. the taiwan knockoffs could fool amost anybody; http://www.tialsport.com/realvsfake.html

WOW. they are getting pretty good at these things... Well the turbo does have a serial number on it. it could be matched to see if turbonetics recognizes it.

when you get done with all the other work you are doing and the car is together we can trouble shoot the boost or lack there off.

Hmmm, I don't recall speaking to anyone who bought my chips off anyone on ebay. You sure you talked to me? I'm the owner of MAXhpkit/951MAX

i generally avoid buying ebay parts for my car, and get them directly from the source instead.

But I really don't mind helping people who have bought my products from someone else. He may not get a new chip for free, but I'm always willing to help someone, even if they are a INSERT_OTHER_VENDOR_NAME_HERE customer and not mine. Regards, Russell |
