Default ADVICE Turbo Oil feed hose with or without pre-filter

Hi

In a few weeks I will replace my old T3 turbo on my Escort RS turbo.
The question is, replace also oil feed hose with or without pre-filter?? Keeping in mind possitive and negative points, future problems with pre-filter...........

ive never had a filter in my oil feed for the turbo and 5 years never had an issue..

im sure if you change you oil regular keep it well serviced there shouldnt be a need for one. id rather spend my cash on the magnetic sump plug for sale on here from boss man Stu@motorsport developments.

Yeah mate!! I think it too, but about fitting a magnetic sump plug the problem is that I´ve got a oil temp gauge adaptor sump plugged yet...........

not sure if u will be able to view being in spain.

its an adapter for the rear of the engine where the original oil pressure switch goes, allowing you to plug in an aditional sensor.

I had one fitted on top of the turbo not in between the oil feed hose for 3 years never had a problem with them on but I then removed it as I was told by a tuner that they can get blocked and need cleaning from time to time and they are only good for newly rebuilt fresh engines.

Ok! So only good for newly rebuilt engines.............
I don´t have a rebuilt engine, only will go for T3 replace, so I think will fit a normal oil feed hose.
