Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 12y 10m 22d Posted 01/01/14 04:38 PM Share Posted 01/01/14 04:38 PM Sometimes these over-engineered things can cause more issues than fix them. I guess the Idea was for an Australian Large Family car being a Turbo, where people would cover big miles compared to Luxury or more expensive sport cars Ford decided to put a filter to help make the turbo last a bit longer for cars that do a lot of KM's, no point though if the filter is so small like this and not part of a service schedule.I'd say remove that stupid filter or replace it with one that will not clog as quick.

Chaos310 Donating Members 228 Member For: 12y 7m 16d Gender: Male Posted 02/01/14 01:05 AM Share Posted 02/01/14 01:05 AM due to fit my new earls soon...will get pics of snot that comes out of stock screen..I think it was mentioned here somewhere earlier that it was a thought that the stock screen was there initially to collect any sh*t from new, and then to be removed all together... I still like the piece of mind of having a filter inline.
