Comp turbo failure less than a mile

The worst part about Precision is that it was never their fault. Typical answer was "oil contamination" and this is why the turbo blew up...which of course is a load of BS.

COMP is the exact opposite. They will take care of any and all repairs, no questions asked. The turnaround time has also been extremely good, with 2nd day air return of turbo to customer, which I appreciate.

I have now sold 26 of these oil less units, this is one that failed. There were to more, one was where a customer removed the zerk grease fitting, causing issues. COMP repaired it and had it back to the customer within a week. Another turbo had a small coolant leak, which again was repaired and returned to the customer with a very quick turnaround.

The ball bearing oil cooled has the same centre section as the oil-less units, just uses oil instead of grease.

I think the JB units would be on par as far as cost goes as the triple ceramic ball bearing oil-less units. The oil cooled ball bearing units would be more expensive than though than the oil-less, due to the addition of an oil pan, two oil lines, RTV, scavenge pump, and pump bracket.
