pretty sure it’s ebay-chinese.

no brand anywhere on it, just says “gt28 turbocharger” that’s how most ebay turbos are.

I think the part that gives it away is:

“This turbo is almost identical to the HKS2530.”

I would stay anyways from anything that’s fake. I’ve had one before and it was fucked to begin with.

Im not even trying to buy a turbo for my car…i just saw this and was curious if it was the real deal. If i decide to upgrade ill indefinably look into how to tell whats fake or not.
