Hi guys,

Theres a member on uks that was on the hunt for an external wastegate - i'm going need a new one soon also so had a hunt around.
I came across this one on ebay and was just wondering if it was fake or real?

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/261949646751?nav=SEARCH

The seller has 2 for sale and said they're genuine and come with a 7psi spring. But is there anyway to tell if its the real deal?

Thanks

its going to be very hard to tell unless you at least see it in the flesh. even then you may struggle to see anything obvious as the fakes are generally pretty decent nowadays.

id concur ^^

get a fake, lap it in and see what boost it holds.

i checked a tial i bought before and it was a fake (had to check part numbers with Tial )
