Haha yeah I'd noticed it when doing the filter and assumed it was a heat sink style cooler. Only just noticed the coolant plumbing from above today.Yeah I'd come to the same conclusion previously re the FGs, but then occasionally hear a horror story. Probably unnecessary, but figured there was no harm in doing while everything was accessible.Fark doing the intake side cam position sensor again any time soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap insurance to have a filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number 1 cause of turbocharger failure in B-F-series falcons is the in-line oil filter getting blocked and preventing any oil getting to the turbocharger. There's no point blocking a small hole with a bunch of even smaller holes to save it from potential debris. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowxr6t Member 560 Member For: 6y 19d Location: New zealand Posted 06/04/20 07:49 AM Share Posted 06/04/20 07:49 AM I agree to remove the stock filter on the engine block as I have done that, but iv put a intune motorsport replacement braided oil line and filter up by the turbo, so I can check and clean the mesh filter easily. I dont agree with running no filter at all for the turbo oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
