Garrett Turbos usually have the word "Garrett" on them...Unless the housing is aftermarket, and only the cartidge is a BB garrett.
Can you post a picture of the turbo in question??? |

Tom was hospitalized for an MI... Or as most know it... Heart Attack.... I assure you that if there was any bait and switch... JT was the only one involved ... I stand behind what I say about Tom... He is a good man and would not have put his name at risk doing a stunt like that. JT is now back in Orlando.... Ultimate is closed... Tom is ill....JT stressed this man out to the point of almost killing him. I am sure what JT did was order a knockoff ... Charged you for Garretts ....Give the shop the monies for the knockoff... And pocket the difference.... I just wanted you to know what's up.... JT is done in our community... I am sure he is done in yours.... I am sure his head will pop up somewhere... We will be there to catch him... Best of luck with your car....Sorry we got here too late to save a few of you |

Oh no though. Tom handed me the turbo in the office and stated it was a garrett. He is not a free man on this issue. I spent several hours there in the shop with Tom and jeremy. We even sat in the office and he explained the turbo to me with it sitting on the desk in front of us. So hell no he is as much involved in this matter as Jeremy. Based on what you just stated above we were given a knock off turbo am I correct?

I have found photos online that match up exactly to our turbos that are garretts. Seems as if garrett doesn't always stamp along the side of the turbo. They do however stamp the AR on the side which is not there on the cold side. Ours have been polished extensively.

BTW....you are not 100% sure that you have a fake...am I correct.?? |
