Had a bp single turbo kit installed 4-5 months ago and driven it only 3000 km (Canada) and the turbo is seized. It won’t spin or anything. It was a comp 7676 grease lubricated (no oil or coolant lines) and not sure what to do now. Since it was a mid mounted turbo is the location of this style turbo improper and it’ll get too hot , or was it a lemon turbo, or was it going to happen eventually. Was looking for opinions on if I rebuild this turbo or change the turbo up to someone that’s oil cooled so it helps it keep cooler down there. (Air filter on the turbo was also starting to melt onto it)
