It may even be labeled like an HKS unit and still be fake, there are a lot of people who bought it who left + feedback for those items, they may not know the difference. Y'know if you question it you could always try to contact HKS or a dealer and ask them.

how about the fact item location is in China and the deal is too good to be true! it's most likely a knock off...

For expensive/important stuff like this, I would rather pay more to a authorized Japan or USA distributor. Than taking my chances to buy could-be-fake crap on ebay.
