COMP Turbo Oil-Less Weird Noise

After the extra grease now I could barely hear the noise when I fired it up, even when sound is bouncing off a nearby wall. Took it for a short drive to warm it up and noise is completely gone. Shutting the car off now and the turbo takes at least another 15 seconds to finish spinning down more than it has in a long time. Raises so many questions.

I gave it the normal 5 shots at 3100 miles (5000Km). But now it's had 8 shots like 1100 or so miles later. Does that mean the original direction wasn't enough? Is there some other reason why mine is consuming grease faster? Does this mean I need to give it another 8 shots in 1000 miles? Does this mean I give it 5 or 8 shots in another 2100 miles at the next scheduled service?

I mean it's ultimately good news but worried now how long this is going to last.

I don't track it, and it's seen maybe half a dozen club meet days since install and only two of those days did I beat hard on it.

All I ask is for you to lubricate it, 6 shots every 3k miles....drive it like you stole it, and not worry about it.

I don't know if it's a serious issue, but wanted to nip this quick before it turns into a genuinely serious issue, and also put it out there so others could benefit who may have concerns but not step forward.

I'll give it 6 shots in say 2500 miles?

I sincerely appreciate the offer, but hope it never comes to that. This is still by far the most favourite thing I've installed on any car I've owned.
