Just place a rag to catch the small amount that does come out so later when leak testing you know it is fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought mine would have been removed when my engine was replaced at RDP. When I queried wether or not they had taken it out I was told "Ford put it there for a reason". I was kinda shocked as its a fairly common problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there such thing as over supply of oil to these turbos? Anyone else who has removed the filter all together experiencing any issues?http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kinugawa-Turbo-Oil-Feed-Line-Ford-BA-BF-XR6-FPV-F6-w-Garrett-GT3076R-GT3582R-/271032902407Anyone tried this replacement line?

Worth getting one and examining it at that price Not sure what hesitation either, I have no screen for close to a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksplatt11 New Member 17 Member For: 14y 12d Gender: Male Posted 26/12/12 05:09 AM Share Posted 26/12/12 05:09 AM Hey guys, I'm going to give this a go in the next couple of days, I've bought the Earls kit but I'm undecided if I'll install it or simply remove the filter from the existing line, I've seen plenty of posts saying either is fine so I guess I'll see how I feel on the dayAnyway, my questions are:I was looking for the Loctite sealant mentioned but couldn't find it anywhere, so I bought some Permatex High Temperature Thread Sealant, says it's rated to a max temp of 204°C, should this be fine?Also, I've read some posts where people are purchasing new washers, some are reusing the existing ones, I was hoping to just use the existing ones to avoid a trip to Ford Parts if they should still be fine to use, thoughts?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksplatt11 New Member 17 Member For: 14y 12d Gender: Male Posted 29/12/12 07:32 AM Share Posted 29/12/12 07:32 AM All done, decided not to fit the Earls kit and just remove the filter, it didn't look blocked but best to remove it anyway, was quite easy with the airbox removed, didn't need to get under the car at all.I just reused the existing washers, thought I had an oil leak as after the I ran the engine for a bit to check for leaks, there was a few drops on the ground afterwards, but after driving around today I haven't seen any drops at all, so it may have still been oil from the initial removal of the oil line from the fitting, will pay attention over the next few days to make sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
