Talk about missing the entire point. It WAS greased exactly how I was told to and still developed the issue I outlined, and the 'solution' didn't make sense in context of the official directions on how to service it.

If it wasn't the manufacturer that said that, then it seems like you might have been a little light on previous grease applications. Like Spooler said, keep it greased

If you're really concerned, you can follow someone else's suggestion and send it back to the manufacturer for analysis

"6.The Turbocharger is Pre Greased and ready for install.
• Apply 2 to 3 pumps of Comp Turbo Grease (Part # 950000) every 3000 miles for a rearmount setup.
In the engine mount 6 pumps every 3000 miles."


https://www.compturbotechnology.com/...ease-cartridge

"It's a 3 Oz Oil-less Grease Cartridge for routine maintenance with every 3000 miles for reliable and long lasting service."



Manufacturer said even less. Started with "We will need the turbo for inspect for the issue and repair the problem. Can you send it?" and ends with "Do 8 pumps of grease". Those are direct quotes.

Now fair enough, I gave it 5 instead of 6 as stated above. But that's all I'm going to concede... and you're now telling me that somehow means that I went light on the greasing and 1/3 of the way through to the next service that 1 extra missing shot of grease causes the noise to exponentially become louder? I'm not even remotely close to buying that.

Far as I'm concerned, I already did what I was told. I really do hope it was just a mild anomaly and nothing more happens. That last thing I'd want to do is be back here with a 'I told you so' because I'm still the one who gets f*cked... though thanks to Sasha's impeccable customer service that has been significantly mitigated.

Just out of curiosity ...is your zerk facing down and very visible when greasing ...if not some grease may have not have been going into the zerk and out the side ..I have noticed that if I don’t make sure the grease gun is secured on the zerk this happens ...just a thought

Yep. Not dead set down, maybe 5 or 10 degrees slight slant, but still clearly facing down.

Yeah I know what you're talking about. Happened on my first pump way back when. Unless you hold firm pressure pressing into the zerk with the grease gun while pumping, it squishes out the sides. Never happened after that first pump though. Wiped it all off and did it again.



Here's an after greasing clip from just now:

I'd say about 80-90% of the noise is gone while the car is hot and idle, also when shutting off it spins down quieter and doesn't have that horrible grinding sound in the last few seconds before stopping.

Here's the one again from earlier in the week before the 8 shots:
