Where are the bosch units made these days? How many miles were on the filter and what does the tank look like?

Or you could run the cheap filter and have a nifty electric lift pump :)

my car doesnt care if the OEM filter is cheap, or bosch, or mann, or whatever..

the filter ahead of it is ALWAYS expensive..

if it gets past the stock 15micron unit, then my 2micron racor eats it up..

there is no such thing as TOO MUCH fuel filtration...

86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

my introduction to prothe was through a fuel filter mk2 style.

hard to believe if i didn't see it but i started by soaking it in a bucket with ports open before install.

it had major restrictions going on.  so much so that i special ordered some name brand from kragen and i was off and running.
