Is this very recent? I think I saw someone mention it a few months ago around the time the phony Tial wastegates and BOV's were beginning to pop up. Those look damn close to the real thing too, stamped and everything. Font on the "Tial" lettering is off though.

How much are they charging for these pumps? A legit walbro goes for what ~$80-100? They said these were less than 25% the price? $20!? ****, can you even get a used genuine Walbro for that cheap?

Yup nothing like shipping all the profit overseas. I have a good solution, just buy aermotive pumps..

I'm really surprised the walbro pump suffices on some of these cars..
