They have their pitfalls and that is longevity. Comp sucks in customer support also. Warranty, yeah. Out of site, out of warranty.

I am well aware of the changes that have been made to turbo's over the years. I also fully understand the reason why Comp offer's these types of turbos. That doesn't change the fact that a lot of people are using them and that was my point.
Hell even Precision Warranty sucks and have been proven to fail at times ,but everyone still Uses them still because there cheap and make power.

Not doubting what you do for a living. As I stated people are using them time will really tell how reliable these air cooled turbos are. As of right now a crap load of Domestic cars are using them and seem to be happy with them way more of them that us.
