I think the word came as a marketing ploy from cheapturbo.com.

Google my real name and you'll see that I've been building turbos since the early 90's. It's a marketing ploy and nothing more.

Any real GT series is going to cost a whole hell of alot more than $400.

By looking at the turbo and the fact that it has ZERO Garrett or GT marking on it, I would have to say it's still a Chinese knock off!

For $400 brand new its definitely not a real Garrett. You can't even get a non-ballbearing garrett turbo for $400. Good luck with that turbo, its a crapshoot weather or not it'll last 5,000 miles
