I just consider it cheap insurance that could save the bearings if there's another large engine failure that dumps a lot of shite into the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one most, including the earls kit on ebay, use the 85 micron version which is actually listed as a 'fuel' filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI! Member 1,742 Member For: 16y 8m 9d Gender: Male Location: Earth Posted 22/04/11 12:23 AM Share Posted 22/04/11 12:23 AM I just consider it cheap insurance that could save the bearings if there's another large engine failure that dumps a lot of sh*te into the systemThis is the very reason I will always have a filter/screen fitted to my car.Engine failure, although usually not expected, can be costly and if the damage has caused issues with the turbo then that's just an additional cost you don't need.
