XF Falcon <put funny sh*t here> Member 3,365 Member For: 18y 1m 20d Gender: Male Location: Perth, NOR Posted 03/10/08 06:18 AM Share Posted 03/10/08 06:18 AM What I did when I took my turbo and lines off, was to put your accelerator flat to the floor while the car is off, and crank the engine over for about 3-4 seconds, and do this a few times. The car will not start cos your foot is down on the gas. This should get the oil flowing through the lines I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20pounds Member 180 Member For: 16y 3m 4d Gender: Male Posted 06/01/09 09:32 AM Share Posted 06/01/09 09:32 AM has anyone spoken to garret about this problem I'm sure they had a hand in the development of the turbo systemI heard or read somewhere (maybe on this forum) that they have the filter there cause garret wouldnt warrant there turbos unless ford put it on. Reason bein I beleive is some problem with removing all the sand from the block after casting them.The way I see it is peaple are taking them off and finding small shavings of metal so they are doin there job really.Replaced after a run in period I think they would be fine.Ive done near 50k and I will be changing it at my next service.cheers.

Not too mention the left over carby cleaner that will inevitibly be left in your sump going all through your oil galleries and crank journals. In short - no, don't do it that way. Either do it properly or get rid of it and get a remote filter like the one ETM offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need much though, so I don't think you need to be too worried about it at idle speeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
