Someone would bother faking a turbosmart product?
Hey guys, looking to get a 38mm external gate, saw this turbosmart one and kinda unsure if its real or fake
First off want to find out if its a big deal to run a fake if it is a fake, and secondly to find out what waste gates people are running in their turbo setups. Anyone found a cheapish/safe solution?
Really don't want to have to spend $500....

Thats what i though? But its heaps cheaper than the others and i was kinda like is it dodgy?
turbosmart is a huuuge company for such a little outfit, and is really popular overseas. I have used quite a few china gates over the last yr or so, and honestly the type i was using I had one jam open, the rest were pretty flawless, but they didn't sound very good. These weren't the turbosmart ones though, these had a polished dome top, with little 4 bolt flanges. I wouldn't use one on my own car though.

pretty sure the turbo smart gates off ebay are good quality i had one on my car although i never ran the car more than idle or reving beyond 2krpm didnt leak
kumar you're working fulltime now.. you now have no reason for being a jew :p Trust gate! do it!
Don't be a dam cheap bastard! I've seen a heap of these rubbish china gates seize up, jam shut.
A single component that is such a critical one, I really can't believe it's a consideration.
Don't buy it.
Buy a Tial or turbo smart or any other genuine product
There was a bunch of guys on PF saying that some of the china gates work fine when you clean them up but unless you have over boost protection on the ECU, I wouldn't do it.
I personally have a TiAL and that's saying a lot since I try to spend like no money on the car at all. Then again, if I had an adaptronic with boost cut, I probably would take the gamble.
Man how much money do you think i have? I haven't even gotten my first pay check yet lol!
So I'm right in thinking that these are fake turbosmarts and not real ones? Ill leave it then and look at buying from an official store or something.
