Is This Turbo Genuine?

[Daboss]

Hey there forum just wanted the knowledge of more experienced people. Is the turbo pictured below a genuine garret gt35r?

[paulr33]

i found this one and it looks the same

there is one subtle difference, just at the compressor outlet the one on GTR.co.uk has an extra marking on the housing

most of ur new garrett gt35r have garrett stamped on the front cover, hope that helps

Hey thanks for the responses, they helped a little although I am still not 100% sure. I already installed it low mount and cant view the numbers that were mentioned in the link by paulr33. Is there any other way to tell if it is genuine or not?

if u have that exact turbo, you would have bought it off ryanrb25 and yes it is a garret bought from mtq here in adelaide..

i was there when he bought and installed it!

Yea its the exact same turbo, thanks for your response. Was just wondering as someone was interested in purchasing it from me and asked me if it was a real gt35r so I said as far as I know and I will find out. The only pics I had were the ones from ryanrb25's post and when I showed it to him he asked for the garret stamp on the comp cover, saying it looked a little suspect. Plus the way it is mounted in the car you can't really see anything and I am not taking it off unless paid.

Just look @ the ID Tag

Exactly where is the ID tag?

as far as im aware. no one has yet to copy the ball bearing side of things yet... if its ball bearing then id say its real..

[JonnoHR31]

ID tag is in the centre section near the oil feed

[Guilt-Toy]

Wrong.

Its been copied.. and we have f**ked about 4 of them so far
