I would not recommend oil-less turbos on a street car. They are built for the drag strip.

I have sold almost 30 mid mount systems for the 350z, and not once has there be an issue with the oiling system. I do however use a pump that is 3x the cost of the pump that STS uses.

More importantly, I use brand name proven (Precision) turbos. Who makes the STS turbos? There is no "brand/manufacturer" stamp is there? If they are not made by Precision, Garrett, BW, Turbonetics, Holset...ect. where do they come from?

I know plenty of people/cars who run oil-less turbos on a DD w/ no issues. Not saying it's better than oil, but it is a nice alternative. I've got about 4k on mine, inspected it the other day, no crazy shaft play, still spinning like a champ.

They build them in house when you buy the kit
