The journal bearing has long been a turbocharger's strength and is still used in most turbochargers. But Comp Turbo takes it a step further with the latest ball bearing cartridge technology. Their innovative design and technology set a new standard for quality, performance, and value. High - performance applications need a turbocharger that can quickly build boost pressure. Comp Turbo's patented Triplex Ceramic Turbochargers are the answer. These ball - bearing turbochargers feature a patented triplex ball - bearing design with 99% mechanical efficiency. They have a faster transient response than the industry - standard dual ball - bearing system because of minimized friction losses, improving response times and maximizing power output. The patented Triplex Ceramic bearing system is housed in a billet aluminum cartridge, making the turbochargers 5 to 12 pounds lighter on average. All turbochargers are proudly made in the USA and feature the latest R - Line technology. The CTR 7/14 veined billet slim hub extended tip compressor wheel and high - efficiency CTR slim hub lightweight high - flow turbine wheel are part of this advanced rotor technology. Features include: Titanium Bullet Nose, Fully Rebuildable/Upgradeable, Anti - Surge Compressor Housing, CTR Compressor and Turbine Wheel, Triplex Ceramic Bearing System. The CTR - line compressor wheels are 7 - 14 vaned, with a minimum - diameter hub for maximum intake airflow and an extended tip for higher efficiency at high pressure ratios. The R - line design can increase engine HP output by up to 15% at high speeds. The CTR Turbine wheels have 25% lower inertia for faster rotor acceleration. Their slim hub and thin blade design maximize flow capacity by 30% compared to the prior GT style. They also have minimal leaving velocity, leading to higher turbine efficiency. Turbochargers are built to order and take 3 to 5 weeks to deliver.
Using your Comp Turbo turbocharger is straightforward. Just install it following the provided instructions with your engine setup. Make sure all connections are secure to avoid any leaks. When starting your engine, let it warm up for a short while before pushing it hard. This helps the oil circulate properly through the turbocharger. As for maintenance, check the oil level regularly. Clean oil is crucial for the smooth operation of the turbocharger. If the oil looks dirty or has been in use for a long time, replace it. Also, keep an eye on the air filter. A clogged filter can reduce the performance of your turbocharger. Every few months, inspect the turbocharger for any signs of wear or damage, like loose parts or unusual noises. If you notice anything wrong, it's best to have a professional take a look. Remember, these turbochargers are built to order, so they're made with high - quality materials, but proper care will ensure they last a long time.
