Quite funny really.My kits use speedflow line and fittings and are larger diameter all the way to the filter which acts as a safety net, the copies use cheap steel press fittings which cannot be rotated and they are smaller diameter than stock all the way to the turbo.Sometimes what looks like a bargain can end up being not such a bargain. Mine cost $300 express delivered, the cheap copy costs $200 +$16 delivery so how cheap is it really?

I have seen the inside of these and they will only stop rocks and small children. The original ford inline oil filter was put in place at the request of Garrett as early turbos were having bearing failures due to left over material during the block casting. Garrett would not warrant the turbo with out this filter. So Ford were forced to install one. I took mine out and thew it away. I ask you this . Ive seen lots of turbo failures from no oil but not many caused by mildly contaminated oil. If you own a modified T change your oil every 5000 or after every race event and you wont have any issues. Putting one of those ebay kits on is a waste of money. I cant vouch for the etm kit as I havnt seen inside the filter. Hows about posting a photo?
