Oil-less turbo?

Just curious if anyone has thought about a turbo kit utilizing an oil-less turbo? Might help oil temps down enough so an aftermarket oil cooler wouldnt be needed, just speculating though. One benefit is you would be able to run a bigger turbo without the lag of a same sized oiled turbo. Granted, an oil-less turbo will be more expensive, sometimes twice as much, but if you wanna play you gotta pay I'm going oil-less in my Cutlass because I want the power of a medium sized turbo with the spooling characteristics of a small one.
