3 things with greased bearings. You can under grease them, you can over grease them, and use the wrong grease. All 3 are bad for the bearing.

I just mean they come pre greased, and comp over/under greased they will hopefully step up. And it's like op greased it at all, if and when he does there are instructions for when and how much plus the grease is supplied. Kinda hard to screw up.

Which is why I wasn't comfortable with Comp's "A couple pumps every oil change" 3000, 5000, 7500, 10000 miles? 2, 3 pumps? Big pump, little pump? Who knows. Even then you have to send it in once in awhile. And guess what they might say if it needs lots of repair? Yep, "you didn't grease it correctly". Anyway, let's see what Comp and BP say. Personally I never saw a good or bad review of these revised turbos. I think we're just now getting a glimpse into what the V2 could be like.

Talking

Where I retired from. Electric motors, pumps, and things got 2 pumps of grease every month. This equipment is running 24/7, and a lot harder then some turbos. Each had their own grease. If you got caught pumping more or using the wrong grease. You got wrote up.

With turbos or any high heat app. You use the wrong grease. The grease will turn to wax, then dry up quickly.
