Last week a Turbokit from HKS arrived...
HKS GT-SS
Straight from HKS in the box seald and closed, everything labbeled with HKS !!
Verry nice package with seals and gaskets and everything you want.
I took out a turbo to invest closely.
no HKS labels whatsoever on the turbo anymore.. the last ones i got where labbeled all over..
NO LOGO nowhere. and more..
ALL was just labeld like it was a complete off the shelve GARRET VERSION..
person who where them for stood next to me and went completly APESHIT as he order HKS and not GARRET. while in the beginning he had doubts in chosing either on of them.. but in the end went for HKS and payed a lot more to be SHURE.
so we started to unpack some garrett ones i had sitting around..
Geuss what.... EVEN THE STUPID LABEL ON THE BEARING HOUSING sad Exeactly the same... so we started opening housings up and measuring thing up... took us 2 hours to at least try to find ANY diffrence...
to be shure... and me thinking i was starting to go nuts... i went to my turbo rebuilder.... both tutbo's where EXACLTY the same...
HKS GT-SS is EXACTLY the same as the GARRET BASE VERSION not even labbeled with HKS
so my buddy payed 1000 euro more and as he liked HKS logo's on it etc.. nope.. nothinh just an off the shelf GARRET ONE in an HKS BOX.
100 EURO for a PAPER BOX with HKS letters and a wrapped gasket kit...
WELL DONE HKS. BE PROUD!
the least you guys could to was porth the turbo for that money..
