Fake hks?

Bought a used singleturbokit with a homemade manifold, a masterpower t61 and what was supposed to be a 50mm hks wastegate. But is it really a genuine wg?
No markings on it but it doesnt look like the copies ive managed to google..



Also would there be a big difference betwen stock and street porting with this setup?

looks fake, the purple anodizing is a bit different than the original hks

problem is not the big difference stock vs ported
Problem is: WHAT IF IT DOESNT OPEN? GETS STUCK?

your in deep trouble then my friend.
Something so inexpensive can give you VERY expensive problems
Sell or dump that junk and get a tial or another GOOD wastegate

And get rid of that masterpower junk turbo. I used a couple of them and a couple of xs power ones.. they will basically boost in different times from run to run
and who knows about that manifold
edit:

heres the original HKS, definately not the same as yours

I would try to return the whole kit if you are not going to use the manifold and wg.

It looks like a fake. You could bench test it to make sure it functions properly.
