    Ernie, with a bypass filter, you don't need a fine micron full flow oil filter, the stock 20-25 micron is just fine and wil produce a faster "time to oil pressure". As a matter of fact, the differential pressure across the stock filters may have been less than 6 psi, I have to check my records...

    Ernie, there is a pressure regulator on the engine, located below the turbo and you should not have to worry about exceeding about 70 psi ever. If you want to make use of your second mushroom, install a fuel burning heater and get rid of the hot water heater (which really isn't good for your...

    Now you have a pump for hydraulic pwr steering too. 3.5 to 6 gpm and 1,000 psi (max).

    So you don't think this a good idea?
