At least it's not a Wix filter.
****, you could power your truck with the Turbo alone, just do one of those Jet set ups with it!

BTW, I worked for Allied Signal in their lube tech group when they turned Fram to crap. Beancounters over engineering...
Carquest filters are Wix as well I know. Wix is the ****.

My take on Fram would have been beancounters UNDER engineering.

At what point do you stop measuring turbo's in MM, and start using Meters?

Dude, I'm not knocking Wix filters at all. I was just saying that, that's all you ever see on racecars, magazine engine builds etc. It's just nice to see some orange and that rhino lining stuff they put on there for a change. HA!

Those are giant turbo's that he's putting on his 4.8L. Most of the details are worked out, he just has to figure out where to run the down pipes.
