Yes, a brand new turbo, and is covered under warranty. COMP figures something got into the original turbo from or through the air filter. There was no defect found on any of the rotating assembly, anywhere.

Is there is rub marks on the edges of the blading. If so, the bearings failed.

So everything would suggest that it was a bearing failure, and only after a couple of hundred miles. Turned out to be an install error...that was also covered under warranty. Not sure that other turbo manufacturers would do that. I know for a fact that PTE wouldn't. COMP makes a phenomenal turbo, which is extremely reliable, backs it up with customer service, and always stands by their product.

It was most definitely was a bearing failure. Someone somewhere is trying to hide what happened. |

Like I said before, there was an incident where the compressor cover was removed from the turbo at time of install, and not installed back properly (square). The damage was identical to this, and forum warriors were all over it...*Sh!t turbo, "turbo needs oil brooo"...bla, bla...BLA! No different than 3 customers having overboost issues...forum experts jump right on that too, and say poor design of kit, this that and a bunch of other BS. Only to find out that the installer mixed up the vacuum lines. Always enjoy opinions, base on 3% of knowledge about the actual situation. Been doing this for a long time, seen it all. As for "play", every turbo has "play", especially a JB turbo. If it didn't, it would explode the first time it gets up to the 1,400 deg F operating mark under full load.

And yes. Turbos need oil. Another thing they need is coolant. The first one is why your kit didn't make my short list. The second is some kind of bad joke Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |

"wtf is this? I didn't buy this" "they cool the hot bearing housing with hot air and it's not even hooked to the oiling system to help cool it off" No wonder the warranty is crap. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |

Sasha I know eventually these turbo were going to come back to haunt you.
I mentioned many types of higher quality turbos like the borg wargner efr9180, garett g35-950. The oil less turbo method limits the customer's choices. |

May not apply in my case as I learned this before delivery and accepted the delivery. But for those that had no idea, and thought they were getting a water-cooled turbo, there may be a cause of action there. Last edited by BettyZ; 06-08-2021 at 10:10 PM. |

http://imgur.com/gallery/gKRTKCq This is the hot side bearing. Or what is left of it. Did something get sucked into the hot side bearing? Is comp trying to say it ate something with no damage to the intake fins and it took out the HOT side bearing? That excuse does not match the damage to the returned bags of parts. When BettyZ gets his bag of parts back from comp I guarantee that bearing looks the same or worse. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |
