Turbo Oil Supply Screen Cleaning

The restrictor is at the turbo so the extra flow (if any) from removing the filter should make no difference.

As for running a different turbo and the oil supply, it would be down to pipe diameter (banjo bolt ID) as to how much can get there.

Today I decided to try this and remove the screen but I have pulled it all apart and have found there wasn't a screen at all, had a look in the block and couldn't see any, doesn't look like there ever was one

that's because the previous owner sorted it.

Sometimes these over-engineered things can cause more issues than fix them. I guess the Idea was for an Australian Large Family car being a Turbo, where people would cover big miles compared to Luxury or more expensive sport cars Ford decided to put a filter to help make the turbo last a bit longer for cars that do a lot of KM's, no point though if the filter is so small like this and not part of a service schedule.

I'd say remove that stupid filter or replace it with one that will not clog as quick.

Earls in line puts the filter at the front of the rocker cover for easy maintenence one of the first mods I did after hearing some horror stories.. about turbos starved of oil.

People with the aftermarket inline oil filters.

Can you post up some pics of the debris your finding in them?

[Chaos310]

due to fit my new earls soon...will get pics of snot that comes out of stock screen..

I think it was mentioned here somewhere earlier that it was a thought that the stock screen was there initially to collect any sh*t from new, and then to be removed all together... I still like the piece of mind of having a filter inline.

gday, just reading through this post, you can do the oil feed test from the turbo end by removing oil line and running into a container of some sort (minimum of 1 litre ),then running car for 15 secs precisely.. you should collect a min of 450mls of oil ..! if not u have a restriction, most likely to be the filter..
