KO4 Turbo?, How to tell Real or Fake

[GOLF-MK3-GTI]

Buying a brandnew KO4 Turbo? Seller says it's genuine. It may well be, but I'd like to be sure.

Is there a way to tell which are genuine turbos and which is fake, such as stamp font, font size and part numbers, etc?

Also are they made by Garret or Borg Warner?

All Borg Warner.

They have a blue metal tag attached to them with the part number stamped on.

Get him to send you a picture of the tag, post it up if you have any further doubt.

if your buying it why not just pay the extra an buy 1 from turbo dynamics who have a good rep an comes with a warranty ebay stuff is a hit an miss but if paying by pay-pal and it is fake chances are you will get your money back
