Default your turbo gets dirty oil

I was loking at th eoiling system of the engine systems and realized that anyone running a oil sandwich adapter is feeding there turbos with dirty unfiltered oil.

taking it from th epress sensor is way better because the oil goes through th efilter befor your turbo

u sure? most sanwitches go thru the filter first, then as it returns back to the engine, thru the sandwich it goes to ur feed. i could be wrong

The cheap ones tap off the pre filter oil. GE taps off the post filter oil.

ehh, most people are going to run Fram or Napa filters anyways, so your motor is seeing half-*** filtered oil anyways...

Comparing Supertech to Fram side-by-side the Supertech filter looks tons better. On the Fram filters the seals are shitty things with squared edges, I can't see how they would be worth the extra cash.
