    Well it has a stainless feed line. Will it be right on the feed hole? I'll have to check tomorrow morning.

    Make sure the compressor and turbine housing are align correct . i have seen the turbine blades just rub the exhast turbine housing a stop the wheel at idle and there was no noise either.

    I hate that they do that, it's so small, and un-cleanable... It seems like the turbo would live longer letting some crap go through than to starve it for oil when the filter plugs up!... But remove it and you void your warranty!...

    I'll say they don't clog up easily, there's been one on my turbonetics hybrid since new. The TIII that it was on ate up 2 sets of bearings, ran on broken rings, and I beat the living hell out of it. The Turbo has absolutely no play in any direction after all that abuse.
