for tial mv-s, i do realised there's price around RM300-400 range which has the same wording as original tial, n most of them stated mvs model
but then stil need more details from pro, the price juz look fishy -.-
check the s/n.the fake s/n is all the same while the ori only 1 s/n for 1 mvs w/gate.

Just for reference.since i don't have 38mm t/s wastegate,i compare it with my 45mm t/s w/gate
for ur guidance.i assume the top part of the 45mm w/gate is the same as the 38mm.here's the pic.

ok.first of all,look at the color of upper part of the w/gate.the fake is dark blue while the
ori 1 is lighter.second,look at the lower part.the fake is much more darker (cheap metal i think)
compare to the ori 1.third is the turbo one sticker.the fake 1 use bolder font compare to the
ori.about the valve,can anyone using 38mm t/s wastegate confirm this cos if i'm not mistaken
only the ori t/s w/gate comes with the dark color on the bottom part of the valve like in the 4th pic.

yup...just be careful.they r getting better and better nowadays.
for the time being,just look at the lower part.if it's dark in color,
that's a fake 1.

Which mechanic does the ZTH regulars approach when they have the $$ to change their car's engine?

Would like to upgrade my 1.6 auto to a 1.8 auto...
