If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

On Q this is what he sent back.

As stated in the add it is a new turbo bought for a 02 saab 9-3 petrol which was not used. It certainly looks real but if you want a dealers part then i sujest you pay a dealers price. There is no con here.

I'd send one back saying that you are not suggesting it is a con, and it is clear that he doesnt know there are sub standard new items available on the market, and anyone who was after such a precission piece of equipment would be perfectly within their rights to ask whether the item being sold, is a genuine Garrett part, and not just a 'Dealer' part. A chinese copy is a Chinese copy, a Garrett Turbo is a Garrett Turbo and a SAAB 'Dealer part is a Garrett Turbo.

The fact that he has not mentioned Garrett himself in the auction or any reply, suggesting you make your own mind up, says to me he knows exactly what it is, but due to the restrictions of ebay, and the legalities involved, he daren't suggest it is a Garrett turbo when it's clearly not, and clearly doesn't want to say that its a copy, 'cause no one in their right mind would buy one, except may him lol

Plenty of discussions direct comparisons and dyno printouts to suggest they are shit, you only need to google it. There was a topic on here not long ago that showed a side by side comparison of seemingly similar dismantled units. One thing to note, to the un trained eye, they appear at first to be of the same standard, but when it comes to the impellor to shroud clearance, there is a clear difference, and probibly why they don't produce boost in the same manor as a 'genuine' turbo. we are talking thousandths of an inch difference, but on this type of machine, that can be all that it needs to under perform.
