    TU and turbo oil supply filter

    Just wanted to give some kudos for the TU recommended turbo oil supply line filter.
    After a couple thousand miles and more than a dozen runs down the strip, i wanted to inspect my TU oil supply line filter.
    Removed the element and found a few metal bits that would have otherwise traveled to my one-of-a-kind Turbo. I don't know if these bits would have caused damage, but its better that they never got there to find out!
    The screwdriver in the pic is a micro sized one for scale, and if you are familiar with TU's product the element only measures about 2" long.

    Thanks Wayne and CONGRATULATIONS for your recent personal best. Something tells me it won't be the last we hear about this year as the weather cools off.

    Our filter is a real turbo saver especially if there is an engine failure. We are currently putting together an article for the Knowledge Center comparing three of the most popular filters on the market today. Hope to have all the photographs and documentation completed by tomorrow.
