jbangoy Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I'm installing P&L AVCS and turbo oil feed lines this week along with 2 new OCV, I've seen very divided opinions on the banjo bolt filter in searches. I'm running the stock vf40 still, and haven't had any issues at 84k miles, but am considering removing the filter when I install these lines. My OCI is around 3000 miles never over 3500 miles, and I don't have to top off between changes checking every 2 fillups at the pump. My question is how many here have actually removed it without issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wurkenman Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I have mine removed. The question should read "how many HAVE issues because they did NOT remove filter?" If you woke up today, you have another chance to do it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K2e2vin Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Removed mine at 144k miles. Too little, too late. Motor was already smoking, turbo went bad, etc. I just took it out to see if that was the cause; no light would pass through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
