Identify that turbo holset gt40

[phillabaum03]

So my friend got these turbos and i was looking and couldnt find anything about them. They cold side cover says holset and they information tag says gt4082 on one and gt40 on the other one. Im not sure if there fake or what.. Theres no markings at all on the hot side. Nothing at all.. Not even a name or a number

Looks 100% Holset to me!!! Nice! Just not sure which model!

Where did he get it?

Welll thats a plus.. I could'nt find anything about a holset gt40?

O and slowboy

I thought they were HX 40's... but then again i'm not familiar with holsets as much as others...

Looks/sounds like a knock-off to me. The generic "TURBOCHARGER" tag gives it away.

ya thats a fake you can tell by that tag like steve says.

I'm going to agree with Steve, it looks like an imitation. That tag doesn't look like real Holset at all, neither does the lettering on the side. And no GT series Holset exists.

Can't say for that one or not. Holset and Garrett have overlapped on some models especially on the HT3b, not sure of the other stuff they produce but it wouldn't suprise me at all.

Looks to be a knockoff. The tag seems iffy and the casting is rough on the compressor housing.

I'm by no means an expert on Holset turbos, but like most of the others are saying, my first thought after looking at the pics was thats its a knock off. Will be interesting to see what it turns out to be in the long run......

He's putting them on his trans am.. Guess we'll see how long they last. Ill keep everyone posted
