He has stopped selling them at least one time. He has been doing some redesign work on them and may not offer them again until his redesign is done. You might post a WTB add for what you are looking for. I have one on my 2005 Jetta TDI and have been looking for one to fit my wife's 2006 Jetta TDI.

There is a thread on his bypass kits on the vendor forsale page. He has to make several before it is worth doing and he may have just run out of the last one again. Call him or email him to see if there is another one to come available. Also might be good to get the updated line that feeds straight into the head instead of the oil cap. That is my next upgrade with the timing belt.

Look for Oilguard units...www.oilguard.com. The small unit H115S works very well in these cars. The older EPS-10 units also work well if you can find them. Bolt to the battery case, tap the 5mm fitting in the stock oil filter housing for inlet line, run the return line to the oil filler neck of the valve cover, done.

Fabricate Your Own Mount
Fabricate your own mount. Purchase the filter head and bypass filter from an Amsoil dealer or from the Amsoil web site. They also have an adapter fitting to go from the metric thread of the oil pressure sensor to NPT. I made my mount bracket from a rectangular piece of 3/16" aluminum plate. I attached the plate to the oil filter canister using 3" U-bolts from the local hardware store. The hoses were made at a local store to my specs as well.

I have removed the bypass filters from the website since they were not paying their "rent" for front page billing.
I have 10 kits left as of June 25th, 2010.

Thanks for the compliments!
Unfortunately, I will most likely discontinue this kit once I run out.

What is a oil Bypass and what dose it do?
Check out the link posted earlier. It's basically another oil ffilter for better filtration.

Glad I got mine in time--how long do the elements last and where is the best place to get replacements?

The spin on filters are rated for 2 years or 60K miles. There are many people running them for that long and doing full flow filter and oil changes at 20K.
For general bypass info:

For replacement filters, the local Amsoil dealer locator is here:

Thanks!
I met my local Amsoil dealer and bought an oil analysis kit. He even pulled the sample for me when I could not find my pump. He is just down the street and has stock in his garage. Said he literally sells a ton of oil a month.
I'll see what OAS says. Follow their rec for this batch, and change next time at 5/6 the OAS recommended OCI. Then I'll change out the $32 BP90 and maybe swap to DEO.
What was the outcome of the TDT VS DEO debate?

I have four kits left and they can either be ALH oil cap return kits or BEW oil cap return kits. I don't have any ALH braided SS return line kits left.
Get one while you can:

Thanks for the good words on the design, TooSlick.
I am taking a break from making more bypass setups. I have other projects going. There is a chance that I won't make them anymore.

How many had you been doing per "batch"? If one of us could order 10-20 at a time, would that improve the chances that you would make them again? I wouldn't mind stockpiling them for the club... I really believe in them!

^^^ What he said... I'd love to get one for the BRM as I love what it is doing for my BEW. $$ in hand Jim...

I'd like one(1) for a BRM. Perhaps it is time to run a batch..
Please consider this a firm order.

Unfortunately, I have no plans of making a new run of BRM setups. Demand was very weak at the end of selling out of the last run. Sorry to be blunt but it is not a good use of my time or funds.I'd like one(1) for a BRM. Perhaps it is time to run a batch..

I believe in them too.
I would be interested in selling the bypass plans for a fee but right now I have no current plans on producing more kits. Please call me if you are interested 210 852 4819.

I was supposed to sell my house 2 weeks ago, but it's turning into a mess. I now hope to close next week, and I will give you a call about buying the bypass plans as soon as it goes through. Thank you!
