Explain the Turbo Saver concept to me!

[TR Custom Parts]

Want tech details on the Turbo Saver. I know it remotely mounts your oil filter but how does this help protect your turbo?? I know the turbo is now fed from where the filter mounts but how does it work and why can't something be rigged up from the stock filter area somehow???

It filters the oil prior to it going to the turbo.

I know that! Just wanted to know HOW! Take it there is an extra port in the remote mount that takes the oil after the filtering is done. Wish there was a way to do it with a sandwich adapter right at the existing oil filter.

Have another post on here about just doing the small filter before the turbo using the existing line coming from the block but have heard that the small filters can possibly clog and starve the turbo. Just looking at my options. Have run a small Earls filter before my TA49 for years but putting on a 6262 BB turbo this spring.

HOW?

The oil is FILTERED BEFORE it goes into the turbo, Thats How!!

NO it's not good to run a small little cheap filter!

1) It's too small! wouldn't want to restrict oil flow!!
2) Larger the better! When or If the time came where something happens wouldn't you want the largest filter possible to catch as much debris as possible?

There's a small fitting on the top of the turbo saver
It supplys clean filtered oil to the turbo
The Breaded line attaches to it and then to the turbo fitting

That's what I was looking for! Wonder if there would be a way to just tap into the stock oil cooler adapter??

It might help you better next time if you explain that you would like to know the directions on the hook up of the Turbo Luber than to ask How it works!

(Red Regal T) sells these, Nice set up for sure!

How about near the Radiator
Fitting are easy to get to, put a Tee in?
At the radiator don't the lines reduce, smaller than near the oil filter

Sorry if I asked incorrectly and it wasn't the Turbo Luber I was talking about, I am familiar with Reds setup.

I think it's the same concept.

Apparently you didn't know that otherwise you wouldn't have asked how it helps protects the turbo!


Call Precision and find out if the BB turbos require more or less oil flow than the non BB ones. I may very well be mistaken but I think they require less. If in fact that's so then maybe a small filter in-line might work just fine seeing as it hasn't hurt your 49 thus far.

Turboluber is nice, but are there other options out there?
