I don't know, but being there's pics of Tenzo seats in the ad I'd think so.

So you think ebay? If it isn't ebay is it worth the buy?

Well, if you were selling a Garrett, Turbonetics, BW or other 'name brand' wouldn't you mention that?
Really there's never a situation where you're 'not sure' if it's name brand or not...the price difference is night and day.

I say keep moving, if it's not sold as name brand with good pics and such proving that....then it is just a crappy ebay POS.

I'm going with what everyone said. Don't. I did some snooping and found that the one in the picture kicks in at around 3500rpm and that's a waste for me. Thanks for opinions.

Ya plus in that pic it looks like on the M12 the manufactuer's aluminum plate has been taken off and filed down (Right side of M12 housing in the pic) so you can't see the make or the model/part number. My Garrett has one in the same spot, bar codes and model number and everything. And about the spooling at 3,500rpms, that's up to you and how you set it up. with a smaller trim size like a 50 you can increase or reduce the diameter of the charge pipes to determine when you want to hit peak boost. I run 2.5" pipes on a 57 trim t3/t4 and hit peak boost at 3,000rpms and maintain until 6,500rpms... making my car a little rocket off the line and have nearly instant boost on the freeway. Granted pipes aren't the only thing that determines this, but it's a simpler start.
