sandwich plate problems ?
I have seen that happen when people fit a remote filter and that has been because they over tighten the blanking cap of the dummy filter sandwhich plate --the cap is only alloy and has 4 holes init --so not much actual alloy left --so thats why they go --just cos it has a big nut --don,t mean you need to swing on the long spanner that fits it .LOL
remote filters are quite often fitted on turbo,s due to lack of space and you plumb the oil cooler from it as well ,also gives cool place to fit oil pressure sensor . If not moving oil pressure switch you will need to protect that from heat as well
you should fit an oil cooler really, due to extra heat it gets from turbo .
grade of of oil ?
10w/40 is fine

its all these and other problems that makes me like the s/c for a fwd car with limited under bonnet space -- a lot simpler and people forget about all these extra expenses when looking at turbo conversion cost
