Comp turbo leaking coolant from zerk fitting

Jinxx

No I caught it early ...it was just dripping .. wasn’t any change in sound or performance due to it never running without coolant or grease ...the second time it blew out was just due to wrong o-ring that couldn’t take the heat (I hope ) and i was watching for it and caught it early as well

Comp turbo did revise this issue and eliminated the o-ring of course they said it was a precautionary revision and that the first design didn’t have issues ... and to convert over to the revision is $750 ....if it continues I’ll be going that route

Sh*t. When did you get your kit? Trying to work out if I might have the first or second revision. I bought my kit around Jan in '18.

I bought it in May 2017 ....almost 2 years now ......and for the viton o-ring ......3 days after install....started dripping very little over night ..like leaving a spot size of a nickel ....so I replace it with one size larger ....first viton was 5.25x1.78 ....the larger one is 6.07x1.78 .....2 days ...dripping over night leaving 1-2 inch spot .....nothing dripping with car running ....so it’s very slow .....I do have silicone o-rings that will be here tomorrow ..they have higher heat rating ....after that if it still drips I don’t think there is anything else I can do

Jinxx

-update-.....put in the silicone o-rings (actually I used 2 ) no drips so far hoping they hold ...and inspecting the viton o-ring that I removed , it definitely was distorted from heat ,flattened out and was harder and more plastic like feel

UPDATE #2....still having issues with this leaking o-ring at the zerk ...has blown out 2 more times since my last update ...first time I caught it again pulling in the garage ..this last time got me driving and lost enough coolant to drive my temp to about 75% of the temp dots and oil temp right at 260 before I got it pulled over and shut off .....was trying to shut the car off while moving but I learned it doesn’t until you stop .......I will be pulling turbo off tomorrow and sending it to comp for a rebuild with updated center section that eliminates this issue ....this is a poor design on comp turbo and I would recommend if anyone has the older turbo kits with this design to exchange it if it is under a year old or pay for a rebuild to ensure it doesn’t leave you in a mess .....I’m hoping I didn’t do any motor damage through this I won’t know till I get it sorted out .....they should offer a discount for the rebuild but I’m sure they won’t

Did you ever get this fixed and did comp work with you? I pulled my turbo and it has issues

I did get the issue fixed ...ended up sending the turbo back to comp for a complete rebuild to the updated version which eliminated the coolant going around the zerk ....total cost was $500 bucks with shipping

What issues are you having ?

NeverBoneStck

Blades are jacked up. About 1500 on the turbo

Dangit!!!! And I was sittin over here comtemplating the switch from Precision to Comp. Not that Precision won't hang you out , but I'll just keep goin with what I got.

Boosted Performance

There were only a couple of issues out of almost 100 units, and that was before the zerk fitting revision from COMP. I'd say this is a non issue with the current units.

I was gonna discuss it with you anyway. I should've done that before going to the Precision 6870 as you mentioned when I told you about it. Which one is the appropriate model to match, and what A/R? I'm currently at 1.32ar on the 6870 and I don't want Seb Jedi choking me for going off on my own ,adding stuff for him to straighten out.
