its really hard to say

the dolphin ones have dolphin in the fibreglass inside, like the 2nd one shows

do you really care if its genuine or not?

i dont even know what brand my one is!

The first one is a copy of the Dolphin. Aaron has one on his car and can explain the difference when he sees this thread.

I've got one which i bought from the same seller in Japan with a friend at the moment which i will pick up when i am there early October. If you do buy the first one, pay the extra to get it painted in your vehicle colour from the same seller. The link you have posted comes unpainted.

IMO it is worth the extra 4,500Y to have it painted then sent. Would probably cost more than $50 to get it painted here.

Link to painted one: http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/150272379

If it is white like the ones in the link (& mine) the paint code is QX1

Agree with Iain, either will fit the Aero bar.

lol. first one isnt dolphin. its just a no name brand one that someone designed and then decided to bulk make. they come painted for factory white cars.

first one looks heaps better on the car imo, the actual dolphin one is shit.

first one though to get it to fit properly youll just have to re drill mounting holes or put self tapping screws through it.. ill post a pic of how it came up on my car during the day

now looking at them I see the difference and the first one dose look a bit better.

Whats the paint code for a black one?

i didnt paint code it, i got a matte so i could match it as best as i could to the guards.

paint code should be on your vin plate

    • I do not think that the return pipe could be the cause of your particular troubles, unless perchance it is leaking in a lot of unfiltered and unmetered air (assuming your ECU is still using AFMs). And then it could be very bad, but it shouldn't prevent you making boost. Blow then engine up from running lean? Sure. But it would make boost. You really needed to disconnect this thing from the turbo inlets and close those inlet ports off a year ago, and you should do it now.
    • Pressure Ratio = 2. ie, 1 bar of boost (assuming 1 bat absolute pressure at the compressor inlet). This is relevant because compressor maps do not have "boost" up the y-axis. They have pressure ratio.
    • Revisiting this thread again x2... 1 year later. This car has been an ongoing project between life. But, I never removed the re-circ pipe. I know, shame on me. But since then, i took it to get tuned and only making about 280hp (lame) and i'm chasing a boost issue where the car wont boost past 7-8psi. Mac valve installed. Haltech Platinum pro with the map sensor.  This is the first time i've tackled the turbo side of things, but i have that side somewhat taken apart to chase the waste gate vacuum lines. And noticed this stupid pipe again. I'm peicing together the puzzle and @GTSBoy mentioned that it was a big vaccuum chamber and said a bunch of car math stuff that I couldn't quite follow the car math (im trying). You guys think this would be the culprit? between rotting vacuum hoses?  i'm making a DIY boost leak tester this weekend. 
    • I just spent a silly amount of time reading other forums' posts and watching "whats this noise" videos on Youtube. It *appears* to be the front diff having killed a pinion bearing or similar. Its almost definitely driveline, I haven't tested to see if the car makes the noise in N though but either way I think it's gonna be pricey. This is outside my area of comfort and expertise so I'll get my BMW guys on it. The bearings are attached to the hubs so are super easy to replace (at least in comparison to press in bearings) so I'll do them also.
