(first post)Recently I have just purchased a 2004 BA XR6t, Happy with the car runs well, drives smooth.After purchasing the car, I wanted to be satisfied with it all, I did a service myself.After reading all the talk about caring for your turbo I decided to check the oil feed lines, The stock hard pipe line to the trubo was blocked. So I contacted my mate at ford. He got me a new hard line and an FG filter. so I was happy about that.Now since joining the forums, I have read that everyone gets rid of the Hard lines, after further reading everyone is different about which kit to get.(Earls, EMT, Superflow.)All I want to know is which kit is best to get (I dont want to start a roit between members).side note - I read on the item descriptions for the new kits that they remove the stock filter. that being said what happens to the Oil pressure sensor that is on the filter in the block?

I have the filter removed with the factory line. The sensor will always be back in the same spot as it is need for the car to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
