SABER full-line up: boost pressure in PSI (for turbocharged and supercharged engines), oil temperature, oil pressure, water temperature, and air / fuel ratio, all with SABER black face and white dials.

COUNTERFEIT Hybrid Intercooler and piping kit Hybrid has grown to be one of the most publicly well known aftermarket performance parts brand of this generation. With that publicity, it came copies and replicas of Hybrid that has caused much trouble to the end user. This message was created to inform and explain the differences between Hybrid and Hybrid unauthorized replications. It has come to our attention that some unscrupulous individuals are counterfeiting our Hybrid products, using our trademarked logo, and ripping people off by peddling them as a genuine Hybrid product. These individuals are con-artists who are not interested in providing you quality performance products and are only interested in making a quick buck off unsuspecting customers. Hybrid is concerned about the potential damage that the counterfeit products may cause. Poor workmanship, use of inferior materials, and inconsistent manufacturing processes could lead to car malfunction, turbo damage, and possible physical injury and are not recommended for use. Have you ever heard of internal fins rattling loose and getting their way sucked into the engine? Intercooler is leaking after 1 month? Or even chrome plating coming off the piping. They are all common problems that we have been told by many of the unsuspecting customers who bought those imitations. All of those customers afterwards wished they could have bought the genuine Hybrid products.

In order to ensure that our customers do not get ripped off, we offer several ways to distinguish the counterfeit items from genuine Hybrid products. Please note that points 1, 4, 5, 8 & 9 are most effective at identifying counterfeits because they are the most difficult to manufacture. 1 : Three hundred tone advanced pressure stamping machine was used to stamp the Hybrid logo on our Hybrid intercooler. The Hybrid logo is stamped onto the polished alluminium plate, when you feel the logo with your hands, the Hybrid logo is pressed into the plate. You can also see our Hybrid logo on top and bottom of our intercooler. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

2 : Our Universal Hybrid GT Spec Intercooler is using our latest Tube & Fin structure, unlike the Bar & Plate structure, the tube design is one whole piece. We stopped production of the Drift Spec Bar & Plate Universal Hybrid Intercooler since 30-6-2005. 3 : Our Universal Hybrid GT Spec Intercooler has highly polished endtanks, 3" inlet and outlet size for the maximum flow. not 2.5" on the fake ones. 4 : Our Hybrid GT Spec Tube & Fin intercooler is developed with our latest technology, it is only approx. 6.2 kgs, the fake ones are extremely heavy and up to 12 kgs. The fake one is much more heavier and making your car lose power, it just doesnt make any sense at all. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

5 : All Hybrid clamps are made in T304 stainless steel with the latest T-bolt clamping mechanism. All Hybrid clamps have Hybrid logo stamped on. Unlike the fake ones, our clamps have no slots, so it wont damage the silicone hoses. Except the 1.5", 2" and 2.25" clamps. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

6 : Our Hybrid clamps sizes are according to the diameter of the pipe together with the thickness of the silicone hoses. The fake kits have all the wrong sized clamps that cant even be put on the hoses, very dodgy. It is because the manufacturers of the fakes dont even have the slightest idea of the items that they are manufacturing, absolutely no research & development were put to make the item work. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

7 : All Hybrid reinforced silicone hoses are shiny blue colour, wall thickness is approx. 3.5mm with 3 layers of reinforcement. Not rubber hoses the fake ones are using, rubber hose is soft and will expand when hot, eventually causing the hose to pop out and cause engine damage. 8 : Our Hybrid piping is made of light weight alluminium material with protective chrome coating, it will never rust. Unlike the fakes that using mild steel which is heavy, thick and will rust eventually. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

9 : Our Hybrid piping kits are designed as a Do-It-Yourself kit with a step by step photo instruction included. It has perfect fitment guaranteed. Unlike the fakes ones, the pipings dont even line up properly, be ware! It means more labor hours and more money need to be wasted ($$$) to fix fitment on fakes. 10 : Shipping costs on the fakes are too much, so in reality, the fake is not as cheap as advertised. Imitations and fakes try to recover costs by making it up with shipping, pricings vary but sure are expensive. Please refer back to our Company Profile to see Hybrid's race tested, race proven design and info. We hope this information has been informative and educational. Please note we at Powerdigger.com Pty Ltd is not liable or responsible for the fitment, quality or pricing of fake replicas, please do not complain about fitment if your item is fake.

Does your piping have to be set up like this or can your piping be joined another way so as is does not go betweek the timing belt cover and the radiator? As in like underneath rather than on top?
