GeordieSteve Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hard to tell. I know it says Garrett on the shell but goes it have a small "plaque" as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Where would that be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 IIRC mine was on the neck of the turbo (towards the downpipe). Should say Garrett and have the model etched on. That's if it's a real one of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzi Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Could you take the cap off mate? So we can see inside. Im thinking its a T3/TO4E maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 I cant mate, it dont have it here. Does it look like a genuine Garrett though? How would i tell if it was a fake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I take it you're buying from ebay, post the link up & let us check the seller out, I'm guessing fake though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 The place where the plaque should be has nothing there. Looks like a very small turbo though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 If it was fake i.e. 'ebay' the inside would be gone and the outside would still look new - they last that long Its really hard to tell... no plaque?

GeordieSteve Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I call none Garrett myself and a cheap fake As Jay and Homer said... ebay by any chance? It's very small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) yup ebay lol- and dont worry, if it's fake it wont be going anywhere near my Supra and the seller will be getting some abuse Edited August 28, 2008 by jacko (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 It looks a bit like this T04.... Except the Garrett is written the other way round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 For God's sake, it's bad enough buying pseudo Garrett stuff from known retailers, buying something you don't know the model number of, unless it's just as a table ornament, is sheer madness. Could be anything, you need an expert to TELL you what you need, sadly experts like that are few and far between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'll buy it and use it as a cup holder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
