Great,so is not a clone

[paro44]

Yes, i would say it is genuine.

The only clone i have seen on a picture was a kts520 and had a very different case.

There are NO KTS 520 clones anywhere in the world.
However, the clones of KTS 550 and KTS 530 exists.

The KTS 530/540/570 enclosures are produced in green, anthrazit and grey colours.

Yes, i would say it is genuine.

The only clone i have seen on a picture was a kts520 and had a very different case.

I thought the same until i saw it on a picture. I don`t know if inside was genuine pcb or cloned one, but from the outside it looked different than kts520.

if you mean this:



so this is GENUINE by BOSCH KTS 521 / Porsche PIWIS tester printed circuit board mounted in the after-made (non-genuine) enclosure.

look inside and you will see this is no copy, but original

Yes, that's it, some kind of genuine clone ;-). But i had no picture from the inside.

it is guaranteed 100% original, just the enclosure is after-made. and, of course, the enclosure does not affect the functionality in no way
