Would anyone else be concerned that their turbo wouldn't be sufficiently lubricated if this happened to them or am I crazy for thinking this, wouldn't it be equivalent or close to running a oiled turbo without the oil lines connected?

Long as the bearing got grease, it's happy. Unlike an oiled system. Once you shut off the supply of oil. It's dead. I can't really tell in your pictures if there is grease or not in the holes. Take the end of a zip-tie and stick it in the hole, twist it around to see how much grease is in there.

No matter what, they always say: "It's oil contamination, not our fault". I was getting fed up with them.

COMP has the same business and customer service values as Boosted Performance. For that reason, I will only offer COMP turbos with these kits, whether it is JB, BB, or oil-less turbos.

Could someone request a Garrett turbo with the kit?

Well, as long as we're asking. What about a Borg Warner efr?

Not to bring this thread from the dead but what ever came of this. Did Comp send you a zerk fitting? What size thread on the zerk? Was the turbo hurt? Anything?

This was taken care of by COMP. I got your email, and have replied as well.

As Sasha mentioned, Comp sent out a new zerk fitting....Im unsure on thread size and pitch unfortunately. To the best of my knowledge the turbo seems to be fine.

Sasha and Comp turbo have been great to work with and the car has been running amazingly well.

Currently figuring out a fully built block and bigger/better fueling system for big numbers hopefully.
