Over this winter I want to clean up this mess, anyone have suggestions for spin on filter setup that will work with this oil feed setup for my APS twins? Pic one is my stock filter location that appears to feed the turbos via that canister type gig which is up front on the rack.
I'd love to have a cleaner setup that has a standard spin on filter.
The "canister" is the oil "scavenge" pump.
The oil filters on my APS LS tt car is mounted in the original ie oem location. The oil lines are tapped into the side of the block, just above the filter location.
Id drill/tap into the block just above the filter location, and reinstall your original spin-on filter.
Here is how it was meant to route.
I'd only run an "exa" scavenge pump as well. I've never had one fail.

Thank you for this!
I see this is the return line, where is the feed?
I will get the car up and start unravelling this oil line situation when I get my C3 off the lift, but this definitely gives me a place to start.
Do you have any more pics under your car? I would like to see how the scavenge pump is mounted on yours?

I don't have the kit so I can't confirm but most likely the feed is T'd off the oil pressure sender on the back of the valley cover. Slightly confused on their return setup as I thought that area was pressurized, but I guess it would work with a pump? Maybe I'm just thinking of it wrong but interesting setup!

Yeah, when I got the car first thing I did was plugs, wires, oil etc.. Just a general run through.. Got it up in the air and was like WTF?
APS TT oil filter ???
