Re: ok, who does this and who doesnt....
I went through 3 brand new PTE turbo's in 2 months. They said every one of them was from "contaminated oil". I bought the Forced Performance inline filter and drilled out the restrictor and I haven't had any problems since. Most people don't have problems but I figured it's cheap insurance, and FP will warranty their turbo's for life if you use the filter.

Although, if I was rocking a baller $1300 GT ballbearing turbo, I would deff. give this some merit. For your everyday HMT hackjob, its way overkill and not worth getting pissy about.

its not like an in line oil filter is more expensive than an engine or the turbo or something, its cheap insurance....
and you are the one saying that HMT hackjobs dont need it, but when i make the comment that most people on HMT dont use them, i get ---- on.
and it shouldnt matter if is a baller turbo or a rebuilt one or an SSAC turbo. money is money. glad you have $200-400 to blow if you frag a turbo because of this...
i only mentioned this to the people that have failures before on ANY turbo and was looking for some answers.
obviously it has helped some people, sorry that you cant see that.
steve, whatever man, you twist up my post however you wish, you read it however you want. to bad you feel that you must make some smart *** remark to 99% of the posts around here rather than adding something usefull to this thread. i wonder if you really even care about these people that look up to you? nice example some of you make, and the example you make directly influences how others act on this forum, and its obvious that people flame openly and dont give a ---- about helping people. some people do help, some people help some times, other people just make smart *** remarks.
again, if you get offended by the use of the word dumbass, read any of the other threads on this site then tell me dumbass is harsh.

Ive been boosted since 99. NEVER had this happen to me.
Your points are valid to a degree. That fact is, the oil going through the center section is filtered by the main oil filter. If thats good enough for a main/rod bearing clearance, its good enough for the center section. IMHO

finally, someone with some tact with their reply and disagree's, i applaud you.
yes, oil is filtered via the main filter.
im more or less talking about cars with high mileage, and slug, and grim, and grit and such.
stock filters dont catch it all and usually only go down to 50-100 microns at best.
i agree that there are many setups that have not used one that have done fine for a long time, but then there are a few that dont last but 1 month on a real garrett turbo, or some other "name brand" turbo, and they used a restrictor and such and yet have a failed turbo.
its just food for thought.
and the guy that keeps changing the poll options, your a real cool guy you know.

Re: ok, who does this and who doesnt....
sounds like somebody is looking for a small group of dumbass people that are very paranoid about contaminated people to sell these too
if so good luck with it but you need some proof that it happens often enough to spend the extra money on a part that might not ever be necessary or just for a piece of mind.
oh yeah i have been turboed for almost 3 years and never once had a problem.

Re: ok, who does this and who doesnt....
From the way you wrote the post and the poll, it's obvious that you're convinced this is something that is absolutely needed, and it's not. Because someone tells you it isn't needed doesn't make them inconsiderate or any of the ---- you're talking about.
Half of new turbo's are from china. There's your answer.

um, no, i do not plan on selling them, if i did, why would i link you to 4 different places that you can purchase them for.
hell, buy them from mcmaster, they are $22, ill give you a part # if you cant find it.
like i said before, do as you wish, it was a suggestion, thats all.
