i found this one and it looks the same

http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/73714-gt3540-ak...roked-rb26.html

there is one subtle difference, just at the compressor outlet the one on GTR.co.uk has an extra marking on the housing

Hey thanks for the responses, they helped a little although I am still not 100% sure. I already installed it low mount and cant view the numbers that were mentioned in the link by paulr33. Is there any other way to tell if it is genuine or not?

if u have that exact turbo, you would have bought it off ryanrb25 and yes it is a garret bought from mtq here in adelaide..

i was there when he bought and installed it!

Yea its the exact same turbo, thanks for your response. Was just wondering as someone was interested in purchasing it from me and asked me if it was a real gt35r so I said as far as I know and I will find out. The only pics I had were the ones from ryanrb25's post and when I showed it to him he asked for the garret stamp on the comp cover, saying it looked a little suspect. Plus the way it is mounted in the car you can't really see anything and I am not taking it off unless paid.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
