Wow. I read all the comments. I’m so hoping it’s a genuine Holset.

Will, you can use a BIG pair of Channel Lock Pliers and that snap ring should come right out if you compress it, or they do on "Genuine" Holsets. I take mine out and put a small amount of RTV on the housing to seal them, per Justin.I dont really think I have a way to cleanly remove the giant snap ring and get it back on cleanly if this thing needs to be returned for a refund. I am sure we have something at work I could borrow, perks of working for a multi-billion dollar tool manufacturer...QUOTE]
Really?? so they are supposed to be 76.2? or 76.3? 76.2 makes sense because its 3.0".
Either way, based on the seller's reaction, and now his willingness to pay for return shipping to get it back (and refund all my money) he must think it has some kind of real value. I feel like if it was a cheapo knock off they would refund my money and not bother paying another ~$120 to ship it back to China.
This has been super slow progress in determining anything. Part of me says send it back and get the refund, the other part wants to see all the internals. I just worry I will leave some kind of witness marks when I disassemble (and then refund it likely off the table.).
Tough call.. @lasthope05 - where did you find the spec, and how reliable is the source?
Thanks for your input guys. def open to suggestions now... run it or return it

Drywall is definitely off topic. Just wondering if anyone cares to comment on my proposed HX35 specs is a suitable choice for a fun hills and highway car? (See post 1)
A gateless 12cm twin scroll, fed by a Morrison T3 divided manifold (might have to move the rad forward for that) with a 40mm external gate.
I don't see any issue with asking what combo to run on a turbo, especially before committing to a ~$2500+ turbo setup. I think the Morrison Fab HX35 combo is fantastic. I'm sure you would too.Thanks guys. I know it's a little bench racey, but after doing my research I still like to post the plan and get a yep or no because....
