Don't you trust the engine oil filter?

Remember. Oil first is picked up by the engines oil pump and then its routed thru the oil filter (well at least half,some engines are different, summit sells a check valve thing that will not let the oil be bypassed by the filter) and then goes into the engine which includes the oil pressure sender port at the back of the block. There is no need to filter the oil again. Its already filtered. That would just be a restriction and cause the turbo to get even less oil.
No filter man!
