I am halfway thru installing my inline turbo kit and ran into a problem. The piece that screws in to the stock filter location will not go fully in to place because it is rubbing on the turbo.

Any tips? I was thinking about trying to grind down part of the piece. Here is a pic for reference.

 

Turns out I missed the obvious. The factory oil cooler must be removed which gives another inch of clearance. Problem solved.

 

IBTL???

 

i thought it looked a bit far from the block

here's a legitimate question though, with the factory oil cooler gone will i run into heat issues with my oil? I have lines running to my oil filter but no cooler in between anymore, is the ambient air over the lines/filter enough?

 

Shouldn't have issues *knock on wood*

 

Is this an Inline pro oil relocation kit?

 

Yes, it's the inline kit. Fits like a charm once you remove the stock oil cooler.

 

A cheapy oil cooler from Summit or the like should alleviate any concerns about oil temperature. Or if you want to be baller the $450+ greddy oil cooler kit would also work. Oil pressure might start to be affected running oil lines to it a cooler and a remotely mounted filter however. Only way to really verify that last statement is with an oil pressure gauge and a good old fashioned before and after test.

Has any one ran an oil temp gauge before removing the OEM oil cooler and after to verify?

 

i have an oil filter relocation kit with a remote oil cooler and i am seeing a little drop in oil pressure.

 

Is this normal to have to remove the oil cooler with Inline Pro kits.
