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.

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.

Re: IS THIS A REAL GARRETT? HELP LIKE NOW

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.
