just wanted to know what people think of them, due to my usual problems
i have bought one as a precautionary measure but wondered if
any one had any views on them

thank s

 

The Bailey ones usually snap off then piss oil onto the red hot manifold and set your car on fire as the oil bursts into flames.

IMO the oil has already been filtered by the oil filter so it's not needed.

cheers pal

it is a bailey one too, i will return it to amber performnance

hows your motor comin along?

mine still ill

 

the Bailey ones are actually very good! the trick is not to mount it directly onto the turbo,this eliminates the chance of it snapping off as said by DazC.
it should be fitted in an inline way in to the oil feed pipe just before the turbo!

 

That is the only way to fit it. 2 seperate pipes with the filter in the middle.

The thing is, I still see no point of them when the oil supply to the turbo has already immediately been filtered prior to it traveling down the feed pipe.

If the original oil filter doesn't do a good enough job in the first place then what are all these car manufacturers doing not fitting a pre filter as standard?

Andy, my car went to Blackpool last Sunday evening. Prior to that it hadn't really been used for weeks on end (about 6 weeks). The problem is when I lay it up for ages, it floods a cylinder with fuel so I have to take out the plugs and cdry them out!

 

nice to have that extra protection though!

 

I have one, but it doesn't sit right over the turbo. If anything it is another excuse for a bit of aeroquip

 

i think they shud be used cos ive taken plenty of turbo's off to find a lump of summet in the oil feed that i would think lead to the death of the turbo

i dont have 1 tho on account im to lazy to get the hoses i need for either end

think every dead turb ive removed has had sumthin or other in the oil feed at the top partially blocking, wish sum1 made little oil coolers that would act as a small sump for the oil as it came round the head, that would help a bit i think

 

the filter screws direct into the turbo, it is not a in line one,

mmine aint moved for 3 weeks now daz, got some more parts to go on yet,

just had a little spending spree

 

They can melt on to the turbo.

 

well i think i know where that bad boy is going

straight back to amber performance

 

Get one on a line imo. Mine "hangs" under my coilpack.

 

cheers mate,

except for i dont have a coilpack

 

You should see the inside of a Turbo Pre-filter after an engine failure. I'd say thats reason enough to have one in the hope that it's an increased chance of a failed engine not destroying your turbo internals.

I have an inline one, which was soon copied by Tony.

 

Also, you don't need a Coilpack to have the Filter hang down where mine/Tony's does!!

It just goes over the top of the Gearbox.

 

I have the pictures of mine, worth a post up you think?


And in your dream did I copy you. I really wish you had some ideas yourself sometimes

 

Gutted


(joke)

 

It is a bit hard to make out, but you can see all the swarf that didn't go into my turbo. If Mr C had a half decent at the time the photo would have been alot clearer








My advice is.... Fit one, just under your coil pack, oh shit... I forgot, sorry

 

i know, it was a joke

well whats best thing to do, just get a line made up and fit the filter
or can you buy 2 short sections

 

Andy,

You could buy 2 pipe fittings and cut your original hose then fit the fittings to the end of the 2 pipes. I am sure Christian could sort something out for you.

 

cheers, will sort somet out
