Got to to replace with the Territory turbo filter.Anyone else heard of this, got told good to do when up around 300kw.

Best to remove the filter all together or go aftermarket plumbing. It supplies oil to the turbo so if it does get blocked the turbo has an earth shattering kaaaboooom....

How he explained it, it sounded like another filter that you had to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
