I used one of the ebay knock offs for about 2 years without knowing. It was on the car when i bought it. I didnt realize till i sold it to a guy and he chewed my *** out for selling him something fake :-( . Made it right with him and apparently he has been using it for about a year now without any issues also!

It seems like there there are different versions of them. Like a blue one denmah used ones. I saw one on ebay that comes with the m18 treath in the inlet.. Any more inpute before i buy them? Have a race weekend on the end the month.
I run twin 044s on my 240. One for sure was legit the other I was doubting. The China one **** the bed within 2 weeks. So I bought an authentic and called it done. I should of just went with my gut and bought the magnafuel 4303. Oh well.

I'd stay away from a known fake. They don't have near the output of a real one and live significantly shorter lives. Even buying a "real" one is getting hard. They have successfully copied the boxes, part numbers, and stickers now. We get a lot of Chinese parts returned to Bosch and people didn't know they weren't OEM.

I have China crap all over my car, and I would recommend using brand name pumps. I have replaced 3 of these of customer cars, I know Erik @ Backstreetper.com has replaced may broke, bunk China 044s.

Despite being some 30 years old, nobody to this day has built a comparable pump that performs like an 044....so for sellers to claim a $50 pump can match one....is just ridiculous.
I wouldnt even try one if it was free unless they can prove 100% their flow abilities AND that they will run forever like an 044 will even at max load.
Biggest problem these days with buying a genuine 044...is finding a genuine 044. The copies are bloody good, but there are dozens of threads on the web with images etc of the genuine ones and copies.

thanks guys for the info. I guess I should be looking for a genuine. like he said. its hard to find real ones. because they sell you a fake with real one price tag. because I don't liv in the US it's not possible to send it back.
any where I can fine a REAL one?????
how about this one. seen the seller guarantee 100% or money back.

We have had a lot of customers buy a China one thinking it was real. They are junk. If it is under $200, it is a fake. We have had great luck with the real 044 but the China ones support like 200hp less and burn up fast. If you need a real one, we have them in stock ready to go!
