The orifice in the turbo is only .8mm so I will block fairly easily if something does let go.I would need too look up the diagram but I'm 99% sure the lube system isn't full flow on these engines hence why we see cars with poor service history (unlike yours) blocking filters and killing turbo's.Both my t's have had similar servicing to yours (filter every 5k and oil at 10k) and my filters have always been pretty clean, I just fitted a filter up top to make serving easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone dropping there oil after 15000kms & topping back up with whatever supercheap has on special will be cursing when they hear the dreaded bearing crunch!got my eyes on the Blinder m47In other words, you're not looking for a jammer atm? Maybe next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone dropping there oil after 15000kms & topping back up with whatever supercheap has on special will be cursing when they hear the dreaded bearing crunch!Plenty of turbo cars out there don't run a oil feed filter.... But I agree with you, Proper service intervals/quality and appropriate oils are they key. But you don't need to be a rocket surgeon to work out that oils is cheap engines is expensive Cheers for the heads up Luke....I think the chances of sh*t getting thru to the turbs are small due to the oil being dumped regularly etc... the only thing that I was thinking was maybe extra pressure due to the screen being removed but I'm sure the restrictor would slow the oil down a fair bit anyways.....Guess I'll be the Guinnie pig...see you on the cruise The restrictor will be fine on its own. GT series turbo's are normally setup with just a restrictor and a feed line. Wouldn't hurt to remove the oil feed line and fitting everynow and then and check it for clogging in the bend above the exhaust manifold and check the restrictor for any build up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
