pte turbo saver question

[mzunino]

When running one of these setups can you still route to the oil cooler in the radiator?oi

yes

You do realize that with this set up, you are taking the oil, running it to a separate filter, then one line goes to the turbo, and one to the engine. On the factor set up, the first port after the filter is the turbo feed and gauge/dummy light. The turbo gets the filtered oil first. If you have a major engine failure, the filter will still clog, and the bypass will still let the crap through, and send it to the turbo. The only set up that does anything different is the one that filters the turbo feed only. If I am wrong, someone correct me, this has been my train of thought for years.

With this setup there is never bypass oil entering the turbo chra. The oil feed comes off the unit after filtration occurs and goes to the turbo. All else is the same except the filter capacity is increased. Bypass oil regularly circulates through the rest of the engine on cold start and high rpm.

So is the PTE turbo saver setup better than the stock setup for a street/strip car

I honestly believe if you change your oil and filter on a regular basis you don't need one. Just my 2 cents.

It's better than stock because the oil filter selection is better. It also prevents contaminating of the turbo with metal if something else fails in the engine.

I see them on many of the cars in the MAGNA Buick club, including my own.
Reduces restriction on the system, oil pressure went up after installing it, worth the money for turbo insurance alone.
I don't use a oil cooler, haven't for yrs. car is a daily driver, if the roads are dry.
