we are going to be doing some tests ourselves. I'll clean this thread up and make a new "defi - fake or not' thread, to clean this one up.

The China Defi's ive been offered dont work with controllers

Kool, will be good to see both results then to see the accuracy between the knock off's themselves.

One noticeable difference between the real and fake boxing is the the pic on top of the box with the gauge needling moving, the real one you can cleary see the end part of the needle ghosting where as the fake one the end just isnt there.


Another one is the labeling, apparently the real ones if they have a sticker telling the item details they will also have details underneath that sticker aswell where as the fakes will just have a sticker and no details under the sticker.

Also the measurement numbers on the fakes are smaller than the real ones which are a fatter text/number.

This is just whats been relayed to me by a mate in China but will confirm when they land.

I'll prob take the fakes to Mao at EvoR and get a more detailed list of differences between these ones and the real ones on display.

Real or knock offs?

The knock offs will look exactly the same as the real ones once connected, just the readings might be out or wont last as long as the real ones but hopefully with a few people on the case now all these things will be answered.

The ones being sent to me are Boost, Oil Temp, Oil pressure and Water temp.

There is also a second knock off version that also has a small lcd display at the bottom of the gauges so might get some of those sent and tested too.

Here's a crappy pic of them:

^^ are they supposed to knock off's of the new Defi Advanced range?

ITR3XURZ's are fakes - there is one quick tell - the PEAK light is in a different spot but fark - they are damn close! Might be worth the savings

Defi Advanced BF,CR and ZR don't have a little LCD display pictured above as far as I know, these differ versions also have the Blacked out face before powering up, they cost a bit more than the normal BF knock offs.
