no you can't.
Has something to do w/ too much oil pressure. It would blow the seals in your turbo. -Jake |

Summitracing sells them for $30.
part number is FLX-3965. You can also get them in kits. In case you're curious Subaru uses a M20x1.5 filter thread with a 2.5" bore. |

Let me answer everyone's questions
______________________________ Normal Oil flow: Block-> Oil Filter -> Block Oil Adapter/Cooler kit: Block->Adapter->Cooler->adapter->Oil Filter-> Block His idea is to put the turbo in place of the cooler. Thus it would flow like this: Idea 1: Block->Adapter->Turbo->Adapter->Oil Filter->Block This WILL NOT WORK, because oil pressure is too high, and will blow turbo Seals. Then someone said put a restrictor in like this: Idea 2: Block->Adapter->Restrictor->Turbo->Adapter->Oil Filter->Block This WILL NOT WORK. Because now you have just restricted your main oil flow through the filter. This is an AWESOME way to blow up your engine Hope that helps. -Jake |

It would be:
Block-Adapter-Restrictor-Turbo-Turbo return line (to pan) and plug the other adapter hole. BUT ONLY IF you used an adapter like a defi one. (for gauges instead of cooler) |
