Comp turbo failure less than a mile

09nismo498

Yea that's me. Fully built block with Comp bp kit. When everything was done, started the car, everything was good for about 10 min, then I noticed a slow drip of coolant from the exhaust. Started checking everything I could, made sure to verify it wasn't coming from the engine since I just built it. After removing the turbo and removing the housings, I found the turbo housing soaked with coolant. Turbo manifold was dry, indicating turbo seal coolant leak. Sent back to comp, they replaced the entire center section, and had it back within a few days. Comp was actually a pleasure to deal with, and they corrected the problem quickly, and correctly free of charge with free return shipping.

Since this failure, I have put about 1000 miles on the car with absolutely no problems. These turbos are fairly new, maybe its a quality control issue, maybe its a poor design, I am not sure. But I can tell you, they will warranty it for you, and everything is running perfectly since being replaced. I will be greasing mine every 2000 miles or so, personally think that is the longest that should be gone.

Call Comp directly and get it handled. The guy I dealt with was Joe.
