Filtered or un-filtered oil source?

Not all of the oil passes through the filter.
Most of it passes through the cover that your fitting is in.
Only a small amount gets filtered.
And there is a bypass valve built into the oil pan.
You can see this valve when you remove the oil filter.
Our oil block kit comes with a magnetic plug to catch any debris.

Lots of oil filters have a built in bypass also so you don't crush the element on cold start or you put 20k w/o changing it.
You have to do some research to find a filter w/o the bypass. It goes at 15 psid which is pretty much every cold start.
K&N doesn't have one in their's IIRC.
I plan on using an inline filter to the turbo from CM filters (Canton) -SS cleanable mesh maybe. You could use a large 20 micron SS fuel filter also. Microns are hard to relate too. I read somewhere that ~40 microns is the limit of visual detection. Meaning that's as small as you can see.
