What brand of filter (micron size) should i run for remote oil filer

[99 gst 420a dsm]

I just bought a remote oil filter system to run before the turbo, it came with a FRAM filter other than knowing i have to run the filter system before the turbo, im not sure what micro filter i should run, in relasionship to restriction and what not, let me know what you think or what you are running....

It's not a concern. Most filters are 4 micron, but the surface area makes up for any flow restriction.

puralator, partsmaster, napa, and fram ar 10 micron, wix are 5 micron, and K&N are 3

Fram also has 3 levels...standard, duraguard (or something like that), and toughguard (the one you want). The toughguard was actually designed with turbo motors in mind with a higher filtration rate and an antibackflow valve. It should be fairly close to a factory filter.

I am running a Wix oil filter for an 87 5.0L. Its huge and I like it.

i think i found the filer im going to use, its a world parts (in germany) its an anti backfeed and 5 micron, the best part is its black, so a 5 micron filter wont restrict to much oil from going to the turbo then right?

puralator one with mobil 1 10w30

Filter housing size does not correlate to filter size area. Cut open some old fitlers and see which one has the larger filtering element, you may be surprised. Make sure to get a filter with the anti-drainback valve. Also a magnetic "glove" that goes over the filter is a good idea, allowing metal in the oil to be held in the filter for removal later.

puralator is the worst filter i could buy, and dosent have anti back feed, and mobil one is overpriced for the name, my dads parts store stocks valvoline full synthetic 10w30

how is it the worst filter???

Check this site out. Puralator filters have the most filtering area, and Mobile comes up a second. And they both have anti-drain back valves.

We only stock Wix and parts master (cheap puralator) and i can order in K&N and WP (world parts)

??? so what do you think of the specs??? Sounds like your post has no research. (no offence) so if you have not read up, again here are some interesting links.
and yes the purl. does have a bypass val.

the pure one has a better micron rating than the k&n gold ... but doesn't flow to good
