Im not exactly sure where to look for the fitting with the screen in it? and am curious to know where it is and how hard it would be to change the setup from current to the new one.

I'd rather have some small particles get through then no oil at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have some small particles get through then no oil at all...I just did a search and found this:Stainless steel oil feed line. This is a setup for the Garrett GT Center sections and pulls oil from the head because Garrett CHRA's only prefer 50-60 pounds of oil pressure. The filter is a secondary device that helps filter the oilThis filter works great but it must be checked with EVERY OIL CHANGE because the filter could become over clogged if you never check the filter element, it makes sense that you change your engine oil filter with every change so make sure you examine the filter as well!

Suitable for fitment to Garrett T3, T3.5 or T4 turbos with 1/8" BSP fittings. Popular fitments; Cosworth range, Escort, RS Turbo etc..Polished silver.

You could cut the supply like and install this on the front of the engine where the oil feed lineruns across the timing cover. In sure it would be very easy to rig up some sort of mount and clamp setup to support the filter. It would be very easu to access and service if it was mounted there.I just did a search and found this:Stainless steel oil feed line.
