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...

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.
