Default garrett t04e ????

my friend had this hack do a turb kit on his mitsu and wasted gate lines and blow valve vaccum lines were melted all of his exhaust gaskets were blowen bolts missing BUT MY QUESTION IS DO ALL GARRETT TURBOS SAY GARRETT ON THEM AND SHOULD HIS T04E SAY GARRETT

No,
Depending on the production year and original application, some authentic garrett turbos will display nothing at and sometimes just AIRESEARCH. You can also see rotomaster, masterpower, Even scwitzer, john deere and international to name only a few but they all are authnetic garrett with the same specs, made from the same drawing, from the same engineers, cast from the same alloys, cast in the same foundry and respecting the same factory specs.

...if it has been bought brand new for 149.99 on ebay and failed within 1 hour of use, you can doubt on his authenticity.

Carefull here!!!

There'S no such thing as a EBAY turbo. Let's apply the good olf rule of thumb that you get what you pay for: If it's brand new or rebuilt and is a real garrett, you are probably good to go.

Yes, 90% of the ebay turbos are chinese copies and people do get rid of their junk on ebay too but you may get a real good turbo on ebay as well. it's just a market place with lots of sellers.
