KidTsi - Scammer (seller of Fraudulent parts)

I got sold a pair of fake TiAL MVS wastegates from a member on Evolutionm.net I'm sharing the pictures of the wastegates so you guys can see, and to alert you not to buy from this person.

His user name on Evolutionm.net & on DSMtuners is Kidtsi, and he signs his name on both forums as Kevin Beeck (Laredo Texas). He lists a phone number but does not answer it. He has sold at least 4 of these gates through Evom. His FS thread stated he had 2 for sale. I bought 2 from him and posted in his thread that I had bought them. He quickly changed his original post to state he had 4 for sale. The next 2 were bought by another forum member, and yet he still bumped his thread stating he had even more. He is well aware of what he's doing and is committing fraud.

Tialsport has already been contacted and Jake N. confirmed these are fakes.

"yes that is VERY fake - dark flanges, wrong font on the casting, poor machining, rounded edge clamps and the engraving is off center!"

KidTsi texted me saying he didn't know and bought them from a shop in Texas that was going out of business.

Of course it would be nice to know what shop he bought them from...

Yup I got the other ones, I took a quick glance at them and tossed them aside not thinking another thing about it unitl I was pm'd by another member on here.

The two distinct and easiest ways to tell they are fake, is the serial number on top. And the puzzle piece looking casting on the inside of the wastegate housing.

Link is here from tials website.

I don't think he is. I guess least we stopped him from selling 10 sets.

He hasn't refunded my money yet... even though he says he knows he sent me fakes and he's sorry.

No fears, Paypal will pown him. I've got a smoking gun.

canitbethislong - if you need to refer to my paypal dispute for your own, let me know I'll give you the number.

This is news to me. (Fake parts)

What other parts out there have fakes/replicas?

This was never something I thought I would have to worry about.
