What do you guys think of dual remote oil filters since I'm going with a turbo I can mount the filters away from the ebgine where they get fresh air and the filtering would be outstanding using 2 long filters like PF52 I think they are and add 5.5 qts. of 20/w50 of Royal Purple. the kit is about $60. I think it would be worth it since I will be turboed. Anyone else try it? I knnow IGORA has done it on FTV6, but was wondering if anyone here has. i have the oil PSI kit to raise the Oil PSI to 80 PSI so the turbo is always getting a good flow of oil to it, even though it only uses a .035 restrictor since it is water cooled also, and doesn't need alot of oil going through it. Any thoughts?

Re: Dual remote oil filters
on old vw's they didnt come with filters, just an oil screen, so i put a remote mount fram HP1 on it when i turboed. i also added a remote mount oil cooler since i had the lines leaving the engine. imo one filter should be enough, as long as its a good one. the oil cooler seemed to be a good idea when i did mine.Team NoVa

Re: Dual remote oil filters
Thanks, I'll look into a oil cooler I use either Bosch extended or A/C Delco extended filters, I think a guy was selling a stock one from a LT1 here local, so I will check it out. It can go next to the tranny cooler. But if the oil filter gets in the way then remote filter here I come.Last edited by ssms5411; 05-28-2009, 12:48 PM.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake
