Will the real Ebay 02 housing please Stand Up? (video)
My poor customer bought what he thought was a "ebay 02 housing" on of all places E Bay
Found out sadly that it was not the same 02 housing that buschur sells coated for $200
The customer saved a few $ but he wound up having to pay to have it removed and have the car re-tuned
CAUTION - all ebay parts are not the same
Ebay consists of hunderds of inividiual sellers, who often use pictures of other companies parts to sell their own cheap immitations
It seems now that new chinese companies are springing up which copy the ebay copies
Often these copies parts are mere facsimiles of a real part and they in fact are fully non functional
We tried to contact the ebay seller to get some customer service to no avail
Video enclosed

LOL, I helped install the POS. We told LJ that the wg port looked a little small and that he would get boost creep. There were a half dozen holes in the welds before it was patched.

I think i'm going to start up an ebay store called EbayCopyParts and sell only the "Quality" Ebay parts instead of the copy copy pieces.
LOL
Ebay shopping for car parts is always good for a few chuckles.
