Looks ok.... Did you but it from an authorized retailer?

Send the serial number to garret and ask them?

 

Looks real to me... Can you post a closer pic of the silver tag on the compressor housing. If turbo's are rebuilt some companies put there tag in place of the previous tag.

 

LOL hell no....

 

Is it normal for the G and the A in Garrett to be out of line with the other letters?

 

Thats not a real garrett, like you said just look at the lettering. lol ive never seen a garrett turbo with letting all messed up like that plus the letters are always casted into the housing not engraved into a raised section like that

 

I say no not real. Look at the compressor lock nut. I have never rebuilt a REAL Garrett that had an eBay locknut on it.

 

i hope you didnt pay more then like 150 for that

 

nope theres no box around the garrett on a real garrett

Junk

 

damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

looks fake .. referecing it by the backing plate on the compressor

 

I dont know **** about turbos and when i seen the initial pic i said not real. How much did you get suckered out of?

 

after googling your data i found a craigslist ad in seattle

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/2144164745.html

this is not a real garrett, and even if it was why would you buy a remanufactured turbo when a brand new one is only like $150 more.

 

LMAO dude great detective work!

 

thanks, i played a lot of carmen sandiego in grade school.

 

Bingo, that is the giveaway. Housings can be swapped, but those aren't even real Garrett turbines.

 

Chinese turbo, sorry OP
