I use a Purolator in line jobbie from minispares (about ?13) with the 5/16 unions, Its fitted between the tank and pump so its not under pressure. You can also dismantle them for cleaning or replacing the filter element. -MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO- |

I use a metal bodied champion one, I basicly opened all the boxed in halfords looking for a metal filter with hose tails on, they loved me!! On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

Same for me, they keep on loving you if you bring them a case of beer once a year.

Would a TPI Mini filter work??? On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Use a golf GTI 1.8 MK1 or MK2 inline metal filter. These are full flow and pritty cheap. You could also use a Bullet full flow motorsport filter. Most of the other types we've tried over the years just have to much fuel restriction.

Any injection one will work unless it is fitted to a white Turbo with green wheel arches!!!! On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:
