Unscrew the banjo bolt from the side of the engine and have a look through it. You will see the tiny circlip holding the fine mesh in place, rip out the circlip then the mesh and DONE !! Put the de-filtered banjo bolt back in- that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a pretty good certainty that all the pistons are well and truly bedded in and you shouldn't have much if any crap floating around in the bottom of the sump. If you want proper protection you should look at something like ETM's oil supply line with a filter (although you already have a braided oil supply line). Short of that, change your oil and filter every 5-7000 kays and look after the car - you did clean the oil supply line screen didn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mic Donating Members 1,725 Member For: 17y 17d Gender: Male Posted 10/08/08 08:11 PM Share Posted 10/08/08 08:11 PM There is no way you will destroy your turbo without a filter. Your engine oil filter does all the cleaning and if your internals are fine with oil being filtered through just an oil filter then of course your turbo will be 2.
