Im wanting to buy a Posi Ported Eaton from someone, and I had seen two photos of it that raised 2 red flags.
1) the plenum doesn’t look Ported
2) Not familiar with the POSI stamp

I’ve attached photos I’ve seen of the blower and want to know if this thing is the real deal or a POSI replica. Thought all of them had the Ported plenum as well.

If you're talking about the entry on the back of the blower that looks ported to me. That's a lot shinier and smoother than mine. I don't remember what the Posi mark looks like. But I would imagine there's a serial number on there somewhere. Ask for a pic of it.

The blower itself indeed look ported from the inlet. I was just curious about the plenum not being ported as I thought that POSI ported them as well.
I also thought the stamp would say "POSI" not POSI PERF. It is supposedly number 091, still have yet to get a photo from the owner as his car is at a shop.
Just trying to avoid getting taken for a ride.

I'm not seeing any pics of the inside of the plenum. So I can't answer on that. He doesn't have any pics of the bottom?

The blower is supposedly on the car at the current moment. He never took any photos of the port prior to putting the blower on the car.
I would almost hate for him to take the blower off and find out it’s not legit and have to back out after he took it off the car.

If you don't feel comfortable then walk away. Nothing wrong with that. I'm assuming if he's selling it he has plans for something going on in it's place.

Yeah I got a strange feeling after another message he replied to me with. Guess I’ll have to see how things go.
I do need to get a blower here soon so the car can be ready for spring.

Is there anyone else here on the forums that is familiar with the POSI stamps on the blower to know if it is legit or not?

I too will say I thought it only said posi on the left side and the port # on the right.
