I dont plan on keeping the boat either now.....if the car doesn't make sense neither does the boat right? Not financially smart to have either.

My wife just tried that with me. It wasn't hard to tell I wasn't having any of it. "Want me to help you pack?" I was pissed.

You have a little while before the Yorkie puppies are born. Folks who are waiting on litters to be born are her friends on Facebook or previous customers. You have a couple of weeks to prepare. This is your warning. LOL

That’s what I figured. Prob end up with a fuel return just to be safe. But most pumps around me have 93

**update long story short kept the car and Comp covered first turbo under warranty**

Since being tuned I've put on about 700 miles with no issues....until today. I lifted my car up to just check everything out underneath the turbo and exhaust are and noticed that the Comp Turbo oil-less zerk fitting is no longer there. Please keep in mind that this is the second turbo that was sent to me from Comp under warranty. At this time I am unsure on how bad this is. Without the zerk fitting being there I am assuming that the oil has been leaking out of the hole....how much and how long I do not know but I assume its not a good thing. The zerk fitting hole does not appear to be a threaded piece since no threads are visible on the zerk port. I will be sending Comp a email here shortly to see what they think happened but was hoping members with the boosted performance oil-less turbo kit can chime in or Sasha himself.

Remove some of grease from the hole (a Q-Tip is handy for such things) and see if any of the zerk is in there. This will tell you if it broke off or unscrewed itself.

It doesn't look like there are any threads... when you look at the pic no threads are visible in the center housing.

Rusty 03-31-2018 11:08 PM

Might be a pressed in zerk that fell out since there are no threads.

The threads would be below the camfer.

Or, as per Rusty, it was pressed in. I kind of doubt this as most grease systems are fairly high pressure, but I'm no expert.

I've seen the pressed/drive in zerk fittings on a dump truck body,,,but couldn't imagine it on an expensive Turbo.
Hold on......This must be an "April-Fool's Joke"

If this is a pressed/drive in grease zerk & the only one on your Z that is lubricated;
look at your grease gun fitting & see by chance did it pull out the last time you greased it.
I've had this happen at work before & ended up tapping hole & using a thread in type.
Just a thought.

I will be on COMP right away to get this figured out. I believe these are pressed in, so one can't simply pull hard when disconnecting the grease hose from the zerk. Common practice is to push the grease gun (hose end) fitting to one side until it pops off, instead of a straight pull.

I understand that this may have fallen out at some point during operation, which is not right.

I will make a suggestion to have these threaded in as well.

Rapid response from "BP",,,that's awesome customer service!

I haven't greased it yet since I've only driven it around 700 miles or so. Good call though, I could see how a non threaded zerk could stick in the gun if it really wasn't pressed in tight.
