done the second now, and this one threads fine... one problem though... f***********...dle sticks it still wont go! the exhaust from turbo to downpipe stops it, even on the thin tall one, would need a filter shaped like |> or something to be able to do it... looks like no oil cooler for me unless i redesign my downpipe

ok tried to "reshape" the filter using soft touches with a big adjustment tool mk2 however unfortunately its a no go... filter going on on its own, and budget oil going in for a couple of weeks till i have another go/brainstorm
how tall is your filter alex? 5cm?
right so you fit a take off plate to the engine filter plate. now you have an inlet and outlet hose to the pemote filter plate,yes?
where do you take the oil cooler feed/return from?

Hmm how much are we talking for a setup like that? and well as per custard how would it all go in series or parralel or?
view down on mine
just obscured by the manifold but from the end of the filter to the joining flange is 5cm

Wierd. The zorst pipe fron the turbo on mine comes a lot further forward, actually rattles on the fan bracket sometimes.
perhaps later they did this to take the heat away from the filter? think aarons is a later high boost isnt it? assume like mine ghosts is earlier?
so looks like a remote filter is the easiest answer for fitting the oil cooler
