I did notice there was some cheaper ones on eBay but I dont think they come with the new copper washes, you would have to double check.Heres a handy post to have a read on anyway.

Factory filter is about... 60 bux I think. The Earls kit is good. Get new copper washers for the instal. You have to junk the factory steel lines.However, if the oil changes have been kept up the amount of debris on the factory filter can be quite low. There are 50 horror stories on the site about clogged filters. I removed mine at 55k - I would say it was 10% clogged. I swam against the tide and just used a new factory filter - light on bux at the time for the earls kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That washer should not be there, should have a fitting screwed into turbo and the line screws straight onto it. Its a tapered seat so no washers or sealant are needed, that washer wont be helping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
