I am am hoping to clarify from you all, the preferred approach to managing the turbo oil line filter issue, is is there a consensus as to whether removing the filter altogether, as opposed to replacing with for example an earls kit is the way to go? lastly, are there any links to threads that provide details/tips for the DIYer on either/both of these options? Thanks again folks! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93923-fg-mk-turbo-oil-line-filter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, does it need to be a new length of hose/line for example (excuse my poorly worded question!)
