if i had one of those from the get go, i would still be on a 2860RS and my engine would still be together.
I believe in those, and i should definately get one when i do the HTA wheel on my 2871.

I found a cheaper alternative on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Turbo...item5889ad7a68
I can't imagine an item of this construction could be poorly assembled, so perhaps this is a viable alternative?
Unfortunately, there isn't one for a -3an feedline.. So, I'll stick with my pop rivet, haha.

That is what happened to my 2860.
the bearings eventually dried up to the point where it ate itself and axial play got out of hand to the point that the wheel was hitting the housing. all because a peice of gasket maker came off of im assuming the oil pan.

The smaller mesh makes me nervous, however, as it would be more likely to catch particulate requiring more maintenance. Though that's probably something you'd want it to do, there isn't much room for that material to accumulate.
I'm still on the fence about this whole thing, unfortunately for me there is no -3an option available.

Then again, the way I see it, the only thing it will stop is crap that comes out of your system between the engine oil tap and the turbo oil inlet. Everything else should be caught by the oil filter since in most installs the oil tap is right after the oil filter.

1) turbo is still making clanking noise at idle. You can hear it from the front of the car and through the exhaust...I can't place it. Tial guy thinks its a loose heat sheild in the turbine since the shaft feels great.
2) AST's were nice and smooth on the way home.
3 Days until they go to the track.

Quick report from iPhone:
SM record is 1:32
johnwag went 1:27.1 in my car (lives with parents)
I went 1:28.5 (pipe-layer Union chancellor)
ls2 w/ Hoosiers went 1:29.8.
not bad for a 2300lb street car with severe brake problems, lol. These shocks are serious.

New coils and new plugs solved it. We'll see if te problem comes back. The brake pedal still engages at random positions. Hopefully a bench bleed will fix things.
