Hi Kurt
I would like to ask if those are genuine turbosmart parts seeing as you are selling them for so cheap being brand new? 🙂
Hi Yes they are , They were for my stage 3 build on the OPC , GT45RX turbo... Wont be working for this application , Need to get em gone to buy a 60mm wastegate , Blow off valve as well is not really suitable for this application going for a stealth approach..Managed to get a replacement FPR that fits in the OPC's rail .. as for the boost controller , Mapping works wonders i tell you!
Wow.. you asking R3300 for everything in the picture?
Yup , Realized that majority of the guys would never pay shop price for em ...
i call shotgun on everything! 😀
If this set is sold,I might have just another wastegate and bov, that my buddy bought for his opc ,we're both going the same mod route, but he might want alil extra
Can you please give me details?
Can you tell me where you bought from from?

Hi.
Interested in the boost controller. Please let me know
Sorry but these are not genuine turbo smart products, there's alot of replicas floating around even at performance shops locally, check online on the American sites the turbo smart fuel pressure regulators sell alone for over 200 dollars, theres an article on turbosmarts website about the range of counterfeit product's and how to spot the small differences. Sorry Kurt not trying to sabotage your sale maybe you were told they're genuine but I can garantee they are not. Do you research guys. Some replica stuff is fine to use aslong as the price is ok.

You are right troopiec. I went to go and personally see this stuff myself. It is not genuine turbosmart parts. Kurt told me he got it from super tech. Before I went to look at this stuff, I found a website that shows pictures with a description of the differences between fake and genuine and when I saw the turbosmart stuff, they clearly matched the description of the replicas. Sorry Kurt, I think it's important that we know what we buying

Go and check this out, very helpful with fake and genuine parts
I bought all of these items from him. From the pictures I was sent it looked legit. From some of the reading I did briefly from the link above it looks like the items seems legit, but I will only be able to see once I received the parts. Will post some pics when I received the items.

update?
Post office are taking their time as usual... I checked today and it's in the main hub in town so will hopefully be able to collect on Sat or early next week...
Keen to see myself.
You pay for what you get, cheap price =cheap part or poor quality
Expensive price =quality product
So received the stuff and myself and another forum member had a look at the items. We opened up the link in one of the above posts and also went on Turbosmart's site and compared the pictures and video's they had to the items we had and there are a number of differences. The print on the top covers is not in the same position as on the genuine items. The heat flanges also differ from the genuine items. The inner looks like it's made of similar materials due to the colour, but just because it's the same colour doesn't mean it's the same quality.
This is only for the WG and the BOV. The FPR and the boost controller do not have any markings on them, so to me it means that they are not the real thing. I cannot see how Turbosmart will not brand their products. So to me it seems like these items were misrepresented. The question was asked in the thread if these items are real and the seller indicated that they were. I can still understand if he was under the impression that the WG and BOV were genuine items, but there is no way the rest of the items are.
I sent him a message indicating that I'm not happy and asked him what he suggest we do about the situation. To date no reply from him. If it was me I would have taken it on the chin as it was made clear by him that these items were legit. So it doesn't seem like he wants to discuss and make good on his side of tings. No matter, the wheel turns...
So here's a lesson for the other forum members...
You win some and you lose some..sorry to hear that he is not responding to you. I personally went to see these items and immediately I saw that it was not genuine turbosmart parts. I told him that they were fake and that I am no longer interested in those parts and he insisted they were genuine and that he got it from supertech...
