haha. if you're talking about why no oil pressure, then it was the relocation kit lines were switched and it was too much of a PIIA, so i just fuck it, and put the stock filter on and bam!

LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY!!!!

DO NOT LET THAT AFPR LINE GO ANYWHERE NEAR THAT EXPOSED ALTERNATOR WIRE!!!
That is a positive lead, and guess what- Your AFPR line is grounded.
Wanna see you new engine melt down in a hurry?

^^ Nice catch, I didnt even look at that.

t3d-- glad to hear everthing is all good once again. You didnt want the oil filter mounted there any ways, it would have made a huge mess when changing and covered your DP with oil.

There should be a little plastic cover for that alternator terminal. It's hard grey plastic. You can see it in this pic of my engine... and the alternative routing for your AFPR line too! lol

I looked all over the EPC for that part... no luck yet. Your best bets are the junkyard or a parts car.
