I know everyone says turbo's on ebay are junk, but this looks like a legit k03 turbo.. or am i being deceived?

if its not a borg warner, it isn't a real turbo

when you see "TURBO CHRAGER" stamped on it in crooked lettering that's a big clue

 

it is not legit, there is one or two guys on ebay that sell legit and they want like $500-$600. otherwise your setting yourself up to be burned.

 

fake no good

 

good to know, thanks.

 

anytime you see one of those plates and it lists what kind of turbo it is on it with a serial #, its fake. real turbo's have distinctive characteristics on the compressor housing. like garrett or airresearch written on it, or for k03's, the triple or single K stamp

 

yep, that is total crap

 

looks shady
