I just use copper slip for mine.
Not sure if it's best for long term use but I tend to strip mine once a year so it works for me.
Creedxup used to sell the proper grease for the job, not sure if he still does but I'm sure he will be along soon to put me right. :nod:

This is the stuff you need. Its not the cheapest option but its the best IMHO. You used to be able to get it from RS but have to buy a tin full

I have found any grease only attracts the soot and turns into sticky black crap..i fit them dry...the soot is lubrication thats how variable vane geometry turbos lubricate themselves...

As soon as you introduce oil or grease then they collect it and jam.
