The SPOFA was my idea originally.. I told LN about it and Charles began design of it.. I HATE plastic engine components and wanted to remove as much plastic from the engine as possible. I also wanted to remove the factory bypass in the filter housing, the bypass opens when the filter begins to clog and allows debris from failing components to create collateral damage that takes out the entire remainder of the engine in short order.
The plastic housings also fail and are failing in greater numbers today after heat, road debris and etc have attacked them for over a decade on some older engines.
I don't use the SPOFA because its faster, I use it because the engine sees 100% of it's oil filtered and because it uses a filter that has proven to be far superior to that of the factory style. I also use it because its one less component that has to be sourced from Porsche.... We are doing everything possible to remove our dependence on Porsche for engine components for our engine program.
I consider a cartridge type filter totally acceptable for my 1949 Ford Tractor, (which came with a cartridge filter) but not a modern Porsche engine..
Some may disagree. They always do.
