I've never really felt ok with an oil-less turbo. So, you add grease every few thousand miles, but you never open it up and clean out the old grease - how does it not turn into a sticky gummy mess after 30k miles?

Based on my experience with high-temp bearings, I would give the bearing a shot or two of grease* much more often than 3000 miles. Maybe once a week for a DD. YMMV. All my experience is with industrial equipment and not turbos. * Just how much would depend on type of bearing, size, etc.

Since this failure, I have put about 1000 miles on the car with absolutely no problems. These turbos are fairly new, maybe its a quality control issue, maybe its a poor design, I am not sure. But I can tell you, they will warranty it for you, and everything is running perfectly since being replaced. I will be greasing mine every 2000 miles or so, personally think that is the longest that should be gone. Call Comp directly and get it handled. The guy I dealt with was Joe.

I had the same coolant seal issue, was pushing out coolant smoke out exhaust. Sent to them and they fixed it and sent back. Have about 3k miles on her now running good.

That's interesting, same issue as me. Sounds like a quality control problem more than a design flaw.

That being said, I've seen a few turbos go south like this in my time as a car enthusiast and none of the motors seemed any worse for wear.

Yea, metal particles are concerning. I would inspect inside the intake manifold, and all intake piping/intercooler for debris. clean everything thoroughly, change oil and filter, drive a couple hundred miles, then change oil and filter again. You should be fine.

Ya the coolant leak isn't very damaging compared to the metal shavings going into your engine. But seriously it's like I'm expecting my turbo to fail when I put it in. There's been what 9 new VHR comp turbo kits and maybe 10 HR kits. Out of 19 comp turbos not one not two but THREE turbo failures. That's just insane.
I'm sorry I love BP and Sasha's customer service but I think we should have stuck with the precision turbo.

People still have the option of going with the Precision turbos from Sasha. As far as the filters in my own experience relocation would be optimal but we know that is'nt an option. So you're left with heat mitigation or fabricating a shield. I'm on my third filter now; The first was completely my own ignorance as a result of removing the turbo and reinstalling it to many times and flattening the gasket. The second filter bubbled around the snout and eventually cracked open at the base. I sent pics to Buschur Racing and they said they don't know and had never seen it happen. I've gold wrapped the base of the third filter and we'll see the results when I snatch it off.
