Glanza Mac Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yeah looks genuine but for £40-50 more you can be sure it's real and buy new from a recommended sellerRob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ollieh17 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Seems too cheap mate, alot of fake turbosmarts kicking around... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza Mac Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Anything that makes your car run as it should, shouldn't be gambled with in my eyes, I buy lots of second hand parts but if I'm unsure, I won't buy it :-) Rob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devs313 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Points taken on board chaps. I'll hang fire until a used one crops up, or see how my funds are at the end of the month to get a new one from TD. Would lapping the one I have now make any difference? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesglanza Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Had the same problem as Ollieh17 just received a genuine turbosmart from Aus with pec Australia for under £190 delivered, Brendan from pec kept in contact every step of the way. After going through all the hassle with fakes my advice would be do your research and if it seams to good to be true then it probably is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devs313 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Where did you get the fake one from ollie? James, why did you get one from australia for 190 if td sell them for 199? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesglanza Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I bought it along side a few other bits and saved the most money that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Was kind of second hand but jdm ep. I looked elsewhere before and asked turbosmart to verify the seller, they are happy to do that. Just trusted the second hand one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Imo.. Buy genuine and buy TialBuy cheap, buy twice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Buy new indeed but dont rule out turbosmart, alot of tests they come out well above tial for leakage etc. some information on it over driftworks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesglanza Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Used both and really like the build quality of the turbosmart units, but both hold boost great and never let me down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Turbo Dynamics are very well priced for new Tial's, or Owen Developments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
