BP turbo build/advice

So with the issues you guys are having with the oil fed and scavenge pump why not switch to the comp oil less turbo

I would have right vefore I did the 6870 but I didn't even think of it till Sasha said something. Scavenge pump isn't really so much a problem as it is a temperamental bastard. First failure I had was from pieces in the system with my engine pop. Replacing it was easy. This last time a wire got snagged during the built block process.

None of that is the pumps problem.

Which is basically what I said. The thing with the pump is that it's one more thing to go wrong , and that wrong could come from any number of things unrelated to the pump itself. I'm not making stuff up I've lived it. With that said if it were that much of a big deal I wouldn't still be running the exapump. Going with a Procomp wasn't on my radar until Sasha himself mentioned it to me. It simply prompted the thought of the simplicity of the setup. But I will say that if I get a wild hair the exapump is a gonner.

There have been more issues with the Comp turbo than with the exa pump.

A lot of them have been install related. I would say that the COMP turbos are performing better than the standard Precision JB turbos the kit came with.

The other REALLY BAD part about the Precision turbos, is that the manufacturer blamed any/all issues on "oil contamination" which I always thought was complete BS. COMP on the other hand repaired issues at no cost, even when it was an install error.

I have a Precision 6266 with a brand new scavenge pump in stock, as well as a COMP 6767. The COMP is what I'm putting in my car with the build this winter.

Hey Sasha, what do you think the problem could be? Also how much would it be to get a cartridge if i need one?

Well, I would start by pulling the turbo, or at least the down pipe to see if the rotating assembly spins freely. If all is good there, check the oiling system, and ensure the pumps pulling vacuum at the turbo oil discharge side.
