Looking for info on this turbo, I'v been told by it's current owner it was an Holset HX35 but you can clearly see it's not.

Is it an ebay knock off?

steve, if you want a turbo i know where there is a gen garret T4 & all the pipe work (no manifold) & intercooler for sale winkeye

£200 for the turbo & around £100 for the rest of the bits winkeye

if thats a holeset turbo then i'm the pope :eek:
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
