Turbo oil supple mesh screen
I was wondering if any of you guys have either removed your oil mesh screen or clean it every oil change? I was browsing Amsoil's website and I found the old bulletin on oil starvation due to the clogging of that mesh screen and I was wondering what everyone else is doing on the matter?

It's called the banjo bolt. Popular idea on the Lgt forums to remove it to increase oil flow, but if something is making your oil dirty there is a chance particles that get through can shred your turbines.
One of
The leading lgt gear heads made an in line oil filter that is more fine than the stock banjo bolt.

There is a Subaru bulletin to remove that as well. I think most performance parts/tuners also remove that screen of death.

In fact, any time a turbo is replaced on a vehicle Subaru requires an oil flush and replacement of the banjo bolt and screen.
Reading is fun, kids!
