hey guys just bought this turbo, no shaft play, only been usued for 20,000k..... apparently. now it has garret writen on the compressor housing, but than on the turbine it has HKS, and than also had a little metal plate attached to the turbo saying gt2530.... but it was a garret plate.
now i thought nothing of it because i am under the assumption that hks are basically garret just rebranded, but after searching my turbo i havnt found many that look like mine, most are fully branded by HKS. also most hks branaded 2530's have a different inlet into the compressor housing.... instead of a circle its more like a diamond shape inlet...
