Oil Line Bypass

[Slade-Runner]

So I am going to do a turbo oil line bypass like suggested by BNR, and I had bought the IAG oil line kit a while back, but I got thinking about the issue with the AVCS banjo filter tend to clog. Would splitting the line after the inline filter risk starving the turbo/AVCS or cause other problems? My idea is just connecting it like: oil filter sandwich plate - AN line - inline filter - IAG oil line kit.

I wouldn’t bother filtering the line going to the AVCS, just the turbo. I believe Bryan won’t warranty his turbos without a filter. If you’re good with your oil change intervals a filter shouldn’t make a difference. On my build I used the IAG kit because like you I had already purchased it. I only used certain parts though. I ran my passenger side AVCS off the back of the head using one line from that kit. I purchased parts from ATPturbo.com to make up the line from rear top oil galley to the “red”filter from FP (because thats the filter he recommended at the time) then I used the remaining line from IAG to go to the turbo. The banjo bolt I used on top of the turbo is unrestricted. All in all this made for a clean install. The same could be done using the sandwich plate.

 

Btw I check the filter every 3k oil change and it’s always clean.
