Is this a knock off?

Cant say for sure, but that "Turbocharger" stamp on the side looks suspiciously like quite a few turbos I've seen on ebay.

Yes that's what I was thinking. But can anyone verify for sure? I don't want to buy a piece of crap. Also the guy is asking $150 so I thought it was cheap but he don't know much about turbos.

im guessing china made. Is that FMIC kit you have the ssac 1g kit? I have that one and my pipes fit so much easier.

No its a bmpc core with universal piping kit.

Knock off much?

Is is just me or does the blades on that turbo look bent from hitting the housing?

ok I won't buy it then...Thanks guys.

To me it doesn't look like the blades are bent, its just the angle of the pic but I would agree that looks like your typical knock off.

Another thing I notice is that it may have been taken apart before. See the green line marked on the compressor nut and blades? People do this when taking apart a turbo so they can re-align nut if they don't get the turbo balance.

And yes, like said above. Its a knock off, but it may have been rebuilt.

Give him 100 bucks.

100 bucks what?
