lol that's enough info to make the chinese factories pump out genuine looking ones...

but its a turbo timer... i mean... that's the cheapest thing apexi sells, why on earth would you buy a fake one instead?

I don't think it's the choice of buying a fake one but believing you are buying the real deal and paying the required amount for a lower in quality unit that doesn't really work.

More profit for the seller and the poor buying mite not even realise until he read that post.

yeah if you sell cheap things (ie. a turbo timer in relation to other apexi parts) people arent going to heavily analyse the product until theyve installed it, and by then its too late.

keep a look out, another reason to not buy car related products off the net.

I think it is fair to say that this is not a regular thing that happens.

People spend billions of dollars every day online and 99% of people will get their products without and hassles and save alot of money.

I have personally saved tens of thousands of dollars purchasing items for my cars online. Its a risk and a risk I am certainly willing to take.

It isnt just turbo timers they are getting everything copied now, one fake SAFC has turned up here in WA and it will get a lot worse.

If people rip you off on cheap bits how keen will they be to find fake Apexi bits and sell them on the forums and E-Bay.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
