If you had a D15 in there I would take tha D16 .
I had the oil filter problem like 4 times....I put it on hand tight and for some reason when i change it it's like Superman put it on. I always use a large screwdriver to take it of, but the last time I just ook it out by hand.
And that was the first time I tried to take it of from under the car.
That made me thinking....I did it with another friends car and damnnn it came of again from under the car.
I think you should just jack the car put some stands go sleep under the car and unscrew the filter with youw hands. It's pretty tight, but not too tight though. I think the rubber just sticks like cement on there and maybe there is some vacume thing going on.

Always oil the gasket on the new oil filter before screwing it on. I had a stuck one on a ford truck once. This was at Car Max when I was turning wrenches for a living. I grabed it with a good quality(Snap On) oil filter wrench, put a piece of pipe on the handle and lifted my self up off the floor trying to get it to break loose.I weighed 235 pounds at the time. I did this like five times before it started to turn. When it came loose the gasket was just stuck to the block.

well as u all know my ---- was fucked up...here are the pics of what ive got done and the pic of the oil filter i promised...

theres that peice of ---- that caused all my stressing

mounted the mani and turbo to the motor

test fitting so i can cut the pipe

new T fitting and needle valve

heres my dsm bov. mounted upside down haha...i need to get a new pipe..this is temporary.

and this is all i got done today..was having trouble with my feedline. and my turbo. my turbo didnt have an 1/8 inch inlet. it was an odd fitting. so the hardware store modified the original fitting to a brass hardline and then he put a flared 1/8 fitting on the end so my feed line would work. my feedline is fucken long as ----. i need another line so i can move the needle valve and ---- to the firewall.

and thanks to projekteg for finding this lil vac. fitting for the nylon tubing to the regular vac. line


so all in all today was a good day for me. i stopped while i was ahead. thanks for the support guys.
