    Has anyone used the Infamous preformance filtered oil supply line... and if so what do you think of it so far.

    Why, is what I ask, how many wrx turbos (02-07) have issues with failing? I say the filter is what destroys the VF40. Take it out, keep it out.

    My banjo bolts don't have the screen... But specifically the one into the turbo has an unbelievably small hole (insert ghey joke... yeah I know)... This kit seems to provide a bolt with a larger opening plus has a more accessable reuseable filter... so why wouldn't you???

    Do you know that that hole is designed to be that size for a reason? Any more oil getting past that restrictor means the oil seals in the turbo cant handle it, and oil gets dumped directly down the exhaust. Its a journal bearing turbo, it doesnt need THAT much oil all the time.

    That is a restrictor. You need it.
