I am currently literally only running this Clicky and a hamp oil filter. No lines.

I cant say its not leaking yet since i havnt built up oil pressure yet. But it has a 27mm adater and i really tightened it with a wrench and then the oil filter ontop.

When the car is propperly tunned and running i will monitor my oil temps during various driving and report back.
If it turns out i need one i think i will opt for the Mishimoto thermostatic sandwich plate to replace my sandwich plate and tighten the an fittings before i put the sandwich plate on the car.

Hand tightening everything bar the oil filter isnt enough IMO.
But remember my oil relocation kits is ebay special. The gaskets were thin and the metal very lightweight. I tried to price up a complete mocal setup but i canot get my head around the remote filter specifics since there are so many.


Simply learn from my mistakes. DONT GO CHEAP!!!!!! Tighten everything with tools not hands. Thick oil gaskets are a must. The least amount of fittings possible.

I gave my throttle a little blip yesterday since it revs fine just wont idle fine. Oww the charger kissed my ears. :twisted:
I think I might have gone a little cheap on some of the kit too. :(

Have to see when I fit it. The Mishimoto plate looks like a good option though, I did like the idea of moving the filter to where the battery once was though. So do you not have a need for the Mocal inline stat? Which one did you buy. I.e. Push on, or threaded fittings and size? :D
