    okay guys i know this has probably been asked 100s of times but there is a part i dont under stand. they are the same apart from this piece of info that i have read ''The TT block has two oil passages plugged inside where the oil filter
    bracket mounts. The NA has two small check valves in this location. They are plugged in the TT
    providing more pressure so that the oil will go through the lines to the oil cooler, which returns
    back to the oil pan. There are check valves on the inside of the TT oil filter bracket where the oil
    filter screws on, but none on the NA.''

    cant for the life of me see what they mean about this part

    any help would be appreciated

    JDM motors don't seem to have that difference, checked mine recently while discussing it on facebook and the NA had the check valves in the tree the same as the TT does.

    there is a lot of mis information out there due to the US/LHD vehicles having major differences.

    Here is the definitive answer for JDM / RHD oil filter tree differences.

    NA / TT block are the same with blanked galleries on the blocks:

    Only major difference is that NA tree has the main gallery right in the middle where as the TT has a slightly offset internal bore which also branches off into the oil cooler.

    I'll be using a thermostatic sandwich plate -> aftermarket oil cooler and for simplicity will be using the NA tree on the TT block.

    Do you have both? Can you post up a side on pic of both oil trees together?

    Cheers.
