    Where is the best place to buy a new oil feed and inline filter for my new t25?

    Stay away from inline filters. I killed 2 brand new turbos because of them.

    They block up very easily as they are so small. I used to rate them highly but would never touch one again.

    Surely it's doing it's job?
    Was this after a rebuild?
    Mine was full of swarf after a rebuild, cleaned it out and was alright after that. Maybe yours was too fine?

    Metalic swarf normally occurs after an engine has been rebuilt.
