Discussion and technical advice the SW20 MR2. 3S-GTE, 3S-GE, 3S-FE etc
Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
Try Fensport if you're anywhere near them, the have all Blueprint parts for that sort of thing.
They're just round the corner from me so that's where I used to go.
Just get the proper stuff! MR T.
theres no point in skimping on a few quid for a low cost part that is so important! I know of a neighbor that bought an aftermarket filter and the valve failed causing oil starvation, leading to 20 bent valves.
Not worth it IMO
theyre only about £7 from Toyota

dont mention it is a turbo if u go to a discount shop and they will av 1 in stock...u know what parts lads are like if it shows a diff number on the computer they think it has to be totaly diff.
No, they are different. The turbo has an oil bypass valve that the NA filter does not have.
They do have the same bottom fitting - I'm running a Turbo filter (as I have a few spare) on my Mk1 at the moment.
