Sounds like Daisy hasn't received the castings in yet. I've been keeping my ear to the ground on this myself recently is how I know.
Good luck, I called around 3 weeks ago myself and no one had one on the shelf.

why buy one of those for 165 when you can grab one from red on this board for about 110 and he has them and he ships pretty quick.

why... because red's isnt a PTE turbo saver , red's is just an oil filter for the turbo it does nothing for the engine, buy hey its your motor and your money do what you like

Not being a tool here but if it's filtering the oil for the turbo it is also filtering it for the engine. Plus it's two filters instead of one with the PTE. I don't have an issue with either one and I don't run either (I made my own turbo filter setup).....just thought the statement above was odd.

the reds does filter oil to the turbo and even though as you say there are two filter so it must be better the problem with the stock setup with the bypass valve still in place is it routinely allows unfiltered oil to run through the system when cold and at higher rpm when volume and pressures are high ,


with the pte all oil must pass through the filter and that includes the oil to the turbo , it also allows for much larger filters to be used.

 

[noahzark]

so what exactly is the difference btw. the two?

 

[pacecarta]

the reds (redregalT) turbo luber a remote filter plumbed inline with the turbo supply . it replaces the stock steel line from the brass block at the side of the timing cover to the turbo with a 4AN (i think its 4an , may be only 3AN ) braided line to the filter block (which gets mounted to the front of the turbo sheild and looks stupid there IMHO) then to the turbo with another braided line.

the PTE mounts at the oilpump using a spin on adapter (can use with or without the oil cooler adapter but i run mine without the oil cooler adapter ) and the oil flows from that adapter through 1/2" hose to the remote mounted filter (mounted behind headlamps on rad support ) , after passing through the filter it returns to the engine through a 1/2" hose , and off the filter block (on the filtered side ) is a seperate 4AN braided line that feeds the turbo.
the filter is easy to get to and the block has the std threads like when you run the biggie filter adapter which allows for running a large filter , and the filter sits vertical so it doesnt drain back so no oil starvation on startup

Why dont you just call PTE and get it from them..they make it..Just cut out the middle man????

 

[fatride]

PTE do not have any at this time, this is why I'm looking for another vedor who might have a few in stock.......

 

[noahzark]

other than hose sizes it still pretty much looks the same to me.
