Default Genuine 20g

Can eany one help me in confirming this is a genuine 20g turbo.

Chap I am on about buying it from says it came from Andy Forrest. Not that I don't trust him but there are that many copies around I don't want to end up with a dud.

I saw that also and thought it looked more like a jawarehouse compressor cover.

Looks like a Jaw Unit to me . Looking at the cover it looks the same as the Ebay Jaw unit . If you look on Andy's web site AndyForrestPerformance
The cover is different and the solenoid tee off is in a different place

Was a bit worried that no one else had shown interest in it at the price. Think it's best to invest in a pucker one!

if this is the route you wish to go mate,go and buy a genuine knackered td05 16g(i paid 35 quid) and send £550 up to andy f to convert it. come bk like new 12 months warranty.be very wary buying second hand turbos

It's the best way. I'd do the same, but my 16G is virtually new!

This is my AFP20g next to a TD04

I sent my TD05 to get converted, hence ran the td04 for a few weeks whilst it was away.

There's two very slightly different compressor covers in the pics above, so perhaps Andy just buys various covers on the market when reconditioning them?
Has anyone actually contacted him over what they should look like? Does he stamp them in any way?

In about the same place where the ridge of the housing goes recessed. It was a long time ago when I had my 20g that may be a revised housing to stop the filing
