Hi!

When I rebuild mine RD28T, I didn't see any filters after this rubber hose. I think there only one main oil filter for engine oil and turbo oil.

That's correct, the oil is pumped from the block, through the turbo, then back into the sump. There is no filtration that i am aware of. It's an oil and water cooled turbo.

They'll get you everytime! I never buy genuine hoses, I always go to the likes of Pirtek, Hoseco, Austrahose or somewhere like that. The majority of it is good stuff and only a quarter of the price!

No filter mate, that will cause restrictions and block it up and cause a lot of damage, let it flow.
