Oil Filter Relocation Adapter – CNC Billet 6061-T6 Aluminum
Designed in-house and CNC-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, this oil filter relocation adapter offers ultimate flexibility for custom engine setups.
Relocate your oil filter to a more accessible location, run dual filters, larger filters, a remote oil cooler, or even all of the above—without compromising factory oil pressure or functionality. The adapter block retains the OEM pressure relief system for reliable performance under all conditions.
Key Features:
-
Maintains factory oil pressure and relief system
-
Adds 2 auxiliary ports: one for a VW oil pressure sender and one for an aftermarket gauge
-
Main oil IN and OUT ports use ORB threads for compatibility with AN fittings (AN-6, AN-10, etc.)
-
Turbo oil supply outfeed remains in the OEM location and bolts directly to the stock hard line (or upgrade to a reusable braided stainless line—don’t be silly!)
Finish Notice
Blue anodizing is no longer available.
All kits are now shipped in a raw aluminum finish with no anodizing applied
Install Note
You will need to reuse the oil pressure relief components from your original oil filter housing, including:

Slider plug

Spring
