Its a double edge sword. Its good that they put a filter right on the inlet of the turbo. On the flip side, when was the last time you check, cleaned and flush that filter? Now think about your oil filter that you change every 3000 miles. Isn't that better? If it were me, I would put the tools that you buy to good use, take oil from the filtered port, put the line to the turbo only AFTER you pull the turbo mini oil filter and cleaned and flushed it for the last time. From that point on, the turbo oil is going to be filtered thru the engine oil filter that is going to be replaced every 3000 miles.
I have seen what is always stuck inside every FP turbo inline oil filter after a couple months of service. A lot of owner seem oblivious to the garbage that accumulates in it. You can plug that inline filter bad enough that you are not getting enough oil flow thru it. Be safe, use a throw away and replaceable filter as a pre-filter.

I just found out the reason why the turbo feed line was ran from the dummy light port. Seems like Turbonetics has a
in line oil filter connector right where the line enters the turbo. My dumbass just spent $25(fittings), $8(mini torch), $9(torx wrenches) and not to mention all the headaches on trying to get the 3/8 port off. I`m happy but pissed off at the same time. I'm going to see if I can return some of the things I bought. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
