nagative... that seems like a knock-off K03... it doesnt have the KKK on the side or on the little blue ID tag...

oh and just in case anyone else saw it but... why is the wastegate vac line connected to the oil line?

Look again. The wastegate vac line is actually connected to the compressor housing, as it should be.

its a complete waste of money, effort and time
