Ok, I though I would write a a quick "how to" on replacing the stock oil feed line with an Earls filter kit. I did this while I was changing my oil so I had the oil filter removed which made it a lot easier. Start off by removing the sender cable from the sensor. Now use a long socket and remove the sender unit. This is what should be left on the car. Remove the washer and the old oil feed line and the washer behind the feed line. (unclip the old line from around the top of the engine will make it easier to move) Use another long socket and remove the adapter that goes to the block Put the adapter into the vice and inside the unit remove the clip. With the clip removed now pull the small filter out. The instructions I had said to clean it and put it back. I pulled mine out and left it out. When I put the banjo over the adapter I noticed the hole didn't really line up so I elongated the hole. Now I'm happy the oil will flow. Now remove the old oil line from the turbo and throw it in the bin. Screw the adapter into the turbo to receive the braided line. Install the adapter back into the engine. You will need to use some sealer on the threads. Screw the braided cable to the banjo. Put the washer then the banjo then the washer and the sensor back on and plug the cables back in. Run the braided lines to the filter and tighten everything up. Make sure you take note on which way the arrow is facing on the filter when you install it! I'm currently making a bracket from aluminum that screws to the from of the engine to hold the filter.

was doing a few odd jobs on the chariot today and decided to tidy up the earls turbo line filter with some adel clamps (p-clamps, cushion clamps etc). anyway I pulled those to bolts out at the front of the engine and the one on the drivers side came out with a bit of re-tapped thread attached...sweet. Doesn't do up anywhere near as tightly now and I was wondering if these bolts served any purpose other than holding coolant lines and if it's a real issue? cheers in advance oh and some pics \/\/
