Its true. You dont hear about the thousands on the road with longevity and no issues, you only hear of the bad ones. Nobody is going to chime in and say "just so everyone knows, my turbo is still doing its job". However, my turbo is still doing its job..lol.
But Rusty brings up a point I have always wondered. I grease my turbo every 5K miles with 5 pumps and have always wonder where the other 30 pumps have gone.

Mine is at about 40k miles and I grease it every oil change 5-6 pumps I was told by comp that the their grease is water base and is evaporated over time ….I did replace the first turbo for a design flaw with the zerk leaking coolant after about 8k miles

Lol.. no idea .. that why I was asking them what it was and they wouldn’t say. But if it’s more of a water base lubricant I figured it might not be related to typical “grease” and maybe evaporate or burn away residue but I don’t know.

The "water base" might evaporate but all the other crap that makes up the "grease" portion won't. It can't just burn off residue inside a closed system - where is it supposed to go?

Water based greases.
A water based lubricant is a product designed to reduce friction during foreplay, intercourse and masturbation. A water-based lube that's made from palm oil-based glycerin for a silky feel. It has no artificial ingredients and has an incredibly low osmolality of 61. A big draw with this lube: It doesn't feel tacky or sticky. ... The lube is pH balanced to help keep your vagina healthy during use.

They did say that over greasing wouldn’t hurt the turbo and the the excess would push out the seals and blow out the exhaust and just be wasted …but they won’t offer much info on the subject and very selective on how they answer questions …..I just grease every oil change and so far no issues and I daily drive mine everywhere road trips and all

When we tested the Rotrex I had a mindset that I would have been happy with anything over 17psi and it would have been a win to make more power than the vortech plus have filtered air. (Plus the numerous other benefits). I was actually calculating 18. We were super surprised when we seen 21psi! That placed our IDC at 107% at 7k rpms. Sometimes when your breaking new ground you get a curve ball.
