oil filter housing leaking; which one!!!

[jongraack]

Just curious if I should stick with the oem housing, or is there something better to use that bolts right up? Not sure if I will be running any oil feeds from there or not.

You can use the evo 3, 8 and 9 OFH if you want to upgrade to an external cooler. Otherwise stock works fine for most.

Nobody recommends any other styles? How about forward facing? Should I think about using an adapter in case I want to run any oil lines for the turbo or is that not needed?

I've heard of people using FF style, never used one myself but I would personally rather use the EVO 8 housing because it points the filter straight down and it's a lot easier to access and change.

I don't believe there is a FF 7 bolt ofh

Sure do!

Forward Facing OEM Oil Filter Housing- 7 Bolt : JNZ Tuning

OP, really all depends. I have only used the stockers, however I know quite a few people who use the forward facing with no issues, as well as the others as mentioned (evo3, evo8).

Anyone know a good place to get an OEM housing? Looking for somewhere that people have had good experiences with.
