i been looking at the oil filter and how you and others needed to move it ,l will it not work if you take the parts off the 5m engine and use them on the 7 the 7m using the 5m parts

Dipstick has now been moved just need to weld up the old hole One prob the turbo exhaust Side was filled with oil and the fins look like oil has been cooked on them so will prob need a new turbo . Are stock turbos cheap ? Looking good so far man! Good to see you got that oil feed on nicely through the engine mount too. Stock turbos seem to go for about £200 for a second hand one, but who knows what they are gunna be like?! May i suggest a comp-r RS35 turbo.. £450 new remake of the holset HX35 www.compressorracing.com/our-turbos.html(More info here) www.compressorracing.com/product-focus--the-comp-r-rs35-turbone.htmlSaw these in the last ever edition of Redline mag, and for the price and spec you can't go much worse, The stock turbo isn't known for doing much over 17psi , other than being an effective hand dryer. You will need an external wastegate for it, but it would be a sensible upgrade if you wanna go further with the 7MGTE tuning anyway, so kill 2 birds with one stone eh ;D
