That doesn't sound very clever. you mean like nearly every other turbo car ever made? truck knows why ford put one in + why they put it in such a stupid location is also beyond me. If you doing your regular serving you wont ever need a turbo oil filter. if your being a Muppet and leaving your servicing for once in a blue moon then your turbo filter will clog and you will lose your turbo, but your motor will still chug on till the oil gets to thick to move around the bearings. Sure a braided line with a filter in a serviceable location makes more sense then whats ford did, but also you dont really need a filter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to run all mating surfaces over with sand paper before I reassemble. Should I basically be tightening everything as tight as I can with a ring spanner or should I get the Ugga dugga out? Don't have a torque wrench or any common sence on hand lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
