Default Oil filter adapter

I have an oil pan for my twin turbo'd motor and apparently it uses the pf48 oil filter. From what I've read, that's used for the dry sump applications. I don't have that. The oil pan is a fbody oil pan that was apparently converted to that. Does anyone know where to buy the swap or if running the pf48 will adversely affect me?

Well, my 2006 Honda Civic, 2001 C5 Vette and 2007 Z06 (dry sump) all use the same tiny-azz oil filter so I am not sure it really makes a difference. Your oil filter model is the over-priced GM version of the Fram filters I use. Screw it and rock on.

I found out that there is an adapter that can be purchased to replace the fill adapter on the current pan to use the original ls1 filters. So I bought that. It will be here tomorrow.
