New Zealand Posted 10/03/14 04:27 AM Posted 10/03/14 04:27 AM (edited) Is this correct, (450mls in 15 secs) because the I've got an after market braided line for my BA and it has a restrictor on the turbo end ( approx. 1mm hole ) and I checked the flow with the restrictor and it was about 150mls after 15 secs, and without the restrictor it was bang on 450mls. Do the Earl lines have a restrictor on them and has anyone checked the flow from it, Im a bit worried to use mine after reading this ^. I might put my old one back on and check the flow before taking the car for a drive with the new one, Cheers Edited 10/03/14 04:28 AM by xr6thsveta

New Zealand Posted 10/03/14 05:12 AM Posted 10/03/14 05:12 AM So could that restrictor in the line starve the turbo of oil, I wont be leaving mine in but could others have issues with it by leaving it in ?Cheers

Saski Member 68 Member For: 17y 10m 7d Posted 11/04/14 10:35 AM Posted 11/04/14 10:35 AM Just a few weeks ago I did mine for the first time @ 241,000 kms before it went for its latest newest tune. It was reasonably clean and I could not visibly see any blockages with a light shone through it. It could have gone back in with a good clean but I bought a new factoey filter and fitted cos its good insurance.I think it comes down to good routine of oil/filter changes. I have had my car almost since new and I change the oil/filter every 6,000 kms without exceptions. My car has been tuned for about 6 years so farNo fancy oil just valvoline engine armour 15/40 Good service routine goes a long way 2

Bet hardly anyone with an earls actually cleans them even though they thought they would...You would have to be real lazy not to, can be done before the oil has finished draining.
