Comp turbo oil less turbos?

[The Convert]

I know this isn’t a new release of theirs, but does anyone have any experience with Comp Turbo’s newest triplex ceramic bearing, billet chra, oil less turbos? Might be a decent choice for bottom mount kits to alleviate the potential issues with turbo oil drain angle/location.

Very cool regardless. Wonder what this means for packaging dimensions and how often the bearing needs to be greased.

Buddy had one. He liked it's simplicity. I never really asked much more about it. Car was very occasional use, 2J swapped Mk III Supra.
I do recall him saying the car absolutely had to be warm for thing to work correct.

Thanks for the very informative response. I’ll be sure to echo those exact sentiments based on all of the conclusive evidence you’ve laid down before us.

They are cool from the options they present for mounting. Think facing up and down rather than front to back. However, from the research I did when considering them on a different project they were not the greatest from a lifespan point of view.

I know centrifugals come with sealed bearing setups, but I think turbos spin nearly 100k rpms more.
