What I'm trying to say if (let's) say they are made in the same factory, but they become expensive because of well known distributor, or if to look from another side they have real price on alibaba .....
Yeah a factory could sell genuine pumps out the back door, quality control might not be the same though.
Also read of factorys producing components with sub standard materials/quality control to sell cheap (but using the OEM suppliers design) as well as the proper OEM ones they are contracted to produce.Current-2004 Impreza PPP wagon

Also, notice the difference in the yellow boxes, the red "Bosch"-text is vertical on the genuine and horisontal on the fake one.
This is what made me suspicius when i had my first encounter with a fake one, sold second hand for a reasonable price.

Where else could you get something like that for £34! But stuff like fuel pump and injectors I'd go direct to an authorised Bosch dealer.sigpic
