R56 oil filter spin-on conversion

Hi, all,
I was wondering if anyone had used the spin-on oil filter conversion plates I've seen around flea-bay, and if so, what was your experience with it?
I'm seeing a few things like this. I looked around and found a few threads on the topic, but didn't see any that mentioned these in particular.

I'm a little hesitant, especially seeing that there's no gasket between this plate and the engine block, so I'm thinking they're pretty worthless, but if I had a chance to convert to a spin-on oil filter, I definitely would.
TIA.

Been looking myself.. the -8AN lines going to add ~200$ to the cost but looks worth.

What's wrong with the factory filter and housing? I've never had any issues with mine.

stock application absolutely nothing
it is kind of a pain in the *** though
Purely on the fact
of location

when you start putting bigger turbo on
and playing around
with power
it is very restrictive on flow
and being it sits under the turbo like that
you get some unnecessary oil temps

personally I think it’s a horrible idea
having an oil filter housing sitting under
the turbo like that
but that’s just my opinion

but once again
there’s absolutely nothing wrong
with the oem houseing
in stock form

cornjuice
is right
look up RPM on Facebook or Instagram
i don’t have Facebook
but I do have Instagram
an they are under RPM power
on IG

Very possible there might be some sticker shock
With Pricing
But remember you are
paying for Motorsport grade stuff
very high end
Quality parts

It’s taken them XXX amount
of time on
product testing
fitting
Etc
Remember you get what you
pay for

i just got a stage 3 tune for
one of my customers
cars
very solid mandingo
to do business with & chat with

In for finished installation pics if you have them. I totally agree about the oil filter being in that place- OEM or not, heat is heat and does add unnecessary degree temps to the oil.

These parts are to replace the original oil filter mounting, so the filter itself can be mounted further away from the (heat generating) turbo.

I am curious though how this helps the oil flow.

Also, this would be a great opportunity to add an oil temp and/or oil pressure sensor (there are combined pressure/temp sensors out there as well).

Ok..thanks for reply..
But do u think that we will need to add more oil??
Is that one will affect the oil pump?
also we need to know how to fit and the results..
and I think that I found the company which made it..in facebook..
