I'm posting for a friend...
Just installed a freshly rebuilt motor into my buddy's TTA. Pretty much stock rebuild with the addition of a oil booster plate. He has about 400 miles on it and for the first time he decided to put some boost to the motor. Well I found out yesterday that he blew out the O-ring around the oil filter (AC DELCO). He gets very good oil pressure 75-80 psi COLD, 40 psi in park HOT. My question is what other performance/name brand filter can or should he use beside AC-Delco? I have the same oil pressures on my GN but use a Baldwin filter with a turbo saver and never had a problem. However he does not have a turbo saver so it will not work in this case... TIA
