Has anyone had a turbo that was mislabeled by the manufacturer?>
I just bought a GT2876 but when I recieved the product it was labeled GT3076. I have already contacted the company that I bought it from and they said that what I have is the right one and that this has been an ongoing problem. Has anyone else had this problem?

Check the dimensions to see if you got the right one

Sounds like it... glad it worked out. I worked for a company a few years back developing a new
application for an old product. They were planning on giving it a new part number and charging four times the price for the same part just because they could. Product labeling can be as much marketing as it is indication of product specifications. This is clearly not the case with your turbo, but I thought I'd share.
