You can buy a filter from performance wholesale, Peterson make it, think they are about $120-$130, and they have a -4 male inlet and outlet, really small, run one inline with your oil feed to the turbo and bobs your uncle, no debris or **** for your turbo 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

went to the tune shop i use as i was worried about the sound, it's not squelling just can hear it spinning more than normal, and it's taken around 2 minutes to stop after the car's turned of on run down, checked all end float etc doesn't seem to be a problem, guy at the shop said it's not that loud and maybe i havn't noticed it, but as he said it's still spining for nearly 2 minutes after shut off, and that's after it's been ideling for a couple of minutes that there can't be to much wrong with it and charles, i'm saving, waiting for tax so i can build another bottom end, just deciding if i should do rb26/30, o the joys of cars and kyle, thanks for the filter knowledge, i will get one next pay!

130 odd bucks?!! what if it gunks up then you need a new one? and whats stopping it from gunking up and starving the oil supply to the turbo :'(

^^^^ mmm i guess least it will take a bit to get gunked up as you say, mind u how much are these turbo's to replace now, $800 rebuilt or $130 to stop it happening ?

yer but what if thats the cause, i mean if it cathes a heap of small stuff that may just pass through and cause no problem, but because its catching it all and ends up starving the turbo, im with you but, im gonna get one.. maybe. but i thought it would cost more to get them rebuilt, so im not as stressed now.

Bouras: is it a n/a diff? if so spool it, should last a while providing u dont go doing 6500rpm dumps!! lol there was a brand new 4.11 LSD VLT Diff on ebay for 1400 and a brand new 4.11 Mini spool VLT diff for 1100 which isnt a bad price i thought considering everythins new!

Im almost readdy to bolt up fellas, but i have a couple questions in mind.. Firstly, aeromotive rising fuel reg? anyone heard of them? Sam (PAZZO01) has put me onto it as he says its the sh!t. Whos running a 25spline diff apart from mark? Also I dont know what i should do about the box cause i want it to last till i get a better one, ive decided to paint the car instead of getting a tuff box for now.. Whats something ideal for the street (box wise). I Dont mind if i stay auto but i want 3 speed with overdriver like Petros (GRMACE) had in his.. And Kel dvo in his, any idea on prices?

ive got a 25 spline diif, my honest oppionion. it will last as long as how well you treat it, do skids and race every set of lights, its gonna break, if not somthing else will.

yer i agree with E-Z. my mate has an N/A vl with the 25 spliners and a spool in it and he drives like a complete physco 24-7 and his gone through 4 axles in the last month and a half! not fun to keep replacing them i hate it! but thats cars........ but my mate has the same deal in his N\A vl and he only has a bit of fun on weekends and his has lasted for a good 5 months now no worries. so ye depends on how u treat it.
