Okay that was a dumb question. I'm double checking that the turbo is oil less. I went ahead and emailed Huron to double check it is.

For any one who still needs to purchase the kit, they added an oil-less option for the Comp turbo

The last few times i heard the words oil less it was accompanied by about 3 minutes of cursing. the older comp oil less units were not holding up to under hood engine temps and blowing seals. The revised ones have a zerk fitting so you can re-grease them on your own and not send them back in to be refreshed biggest problem with the revised models are that the zerk fitting backs out and disappears this has been a issue for numerous cars. Yes, red lock tite has been applied and failed repeatedly.
Anyone who does opt to go with these turbo's please post up on how they are a holding up after a few weeks of use. I'd love to hear how they hold. 3000-6000 mile in between rebuilds... ill take my PTE turbo Last edited by bayarea408; 03-12-2019 at 05:21 PM. |

I agree... The cartridge for the turbos is such a dynamic area for lubrication. I lost a couple of turbos of a different type than I now run due to poor lubrication. In my case, the orifice's in the supply were improperly sized. (As told me by the manufacturer of the turbo). Ensure you understand what you are getting. "Oil-less" turbos are still relatively "new" to the market, and most everyone I've spoken with is not a fan... There are some supporters of them, but I'm not sure any of them are actually funding (buying) them and running them on their personal vehicles. That speaks volumes to me... Like bayarea mentioned, read some online forum comments about oil less turbos. Pulling them repeatedly and often to send them back for greasing, and now losing the zerk fittings added to allow user servicing.... I just think their time isn't here yet.... They seem to be more the area of professional race teams who perform very frequent teardowns...
