Both the fittings in the photo still have the screen filter in them. I was just showing how the revised filter is bigger inside the fitting.Yours will most likely be the same as the one on the left. Once you remove it from your car you will need to remove the cur-clip (what the arrow is point at) and slide the filter element out of the fitting. Clean the fitting and reuse it without the screen filter that you removed.In your kit you have an inline filter which sits closer to the turbo.

Would have been good if the seller provided you with some instructions If you remove the OEM airbox that will give you room to work and get you hand under the intake manifold. Get a lead light if you do not have one so you can see what you are doing under there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end peice that has the clip for the sensor came off with my hand, but I could not budge the oil cable off the bolt. It was like impossible to take off... any suggestions?? Does it need somthing else to take it off? I tried the ease off lubricant but no luck... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a spanner on the block side nut of the oil feed line and a deep socket on the other side and split them that way.Careful not to crush the oil pressure sender plug.

So I took the pressure sender plug off.. but it left the left over thread bolt in the block with the oil feed line on it.. I just couldnt budge the oil line from the thread.. it would not moove lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once that is off, just use a 24 deep socket and take the banjo bolt out and then remove the filter from inside of it. Don't worry to much about the kinking the old oil line because your not gonna use it anyway, although mine came off very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
