I am running a PTE 5857 journal bearing with my feedline from the oil filter housing with an inline filter. That is what Precision says atleast on my turbo to do.

I believe pte journal bearing turbos require more oil pressure. I also believe the best place is the oil filter housing would be best. The head doesn't supply enogh oil pressure for the turbo... That's just my 2 cents....

fixed. BB turbos need to be fed from the head with a restrictor.

Pte doesn't know shit about their turbos ball bearing turbos need nothing but a mist to lubricate them, the ofh will have too much volume, however my old. 6152R was not under warranty when i fed it from the head (which i might add had no problems in 5500 miles) if yours is new and under warranty do what pte says. But don't be surprised if your sending it off for over oiling the ball bearings. :)

I don't think pte journal bearing turbos came with coolant ports well mines didn't.... That's why they rquire more oil!!!!!!!

Correct :thumb: ball bearing turbos need to be ran with coolent if they require it, thats why they were made with them. And also
Cause of how little oil is needed for lubrication it's not enough to be used as primary cooling for the turbo and will coke oil in there in a hurry.

PTE said to feed my BB 6235 from filter housing with restrictor as head location can have contaminates wich will destroy the BB in a hurry.

This is hilarious. Next I would have asked their input on exactly how the dirty oil is scavenged directly from the oil pan and reaches the head without passing through the oil filter. What idiots. :|

run it from the filter housing, or you'll void the warranty. and as for a filter inline thats your call, might be a good idea. the oil feed line should be the port after the oil goes through the filter for the engine, so it should already be filtered.

This is especially important because as you're approaching the 3000-mile mark and your oil filter becomes plugged/restricted with regular contaminants, the oiling system defaults to bypass the filter so you're only filtering about 10% of the oil that passes through the filter housing.

So again- filter housing or head gets the same oil. No one source is any dirtier than the other.

Good to know thanks for the info. how often would you replace the inline filter? every oil change?
Click to expand...

FP says to inspect at every oil change.

"Remember that the filter can become clogged. While you may have prevented a turbo failure by filtering out contaminants, you can CAUSE a failure by limiting oil supply through a plugged oil line filter. Check the filter regularly, inspect the filter whenever you perform an engine oil change. Turbo failures resulting from plugged filters are the responsibility of the user."

Direct quote from FP with there in line filter.

no you dont NEED an inline filter, i find it a hassle just cause you gotta check it all the time and those little filters are a PITA to remove once installed in the center. i still havent gotten mine out and ive tried alot LOL, i change my oil every 750 miles. keep your oil clean and you will never have to worry.
