High Flow Fuel Filter..?
Is it worth it?
Looking at this model:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...Q5fAccessories
Keep it in mind it would be for my turbo application, and the fact that I don't believe my fuel filter has EVER been replaced
Should I go for it, or scrap the idea and just go with an OEM unit?

I dont see why you would need it. your fuel system is pressurized. Never once have I heard of someone needing an upgraded fuel filter.
The most Ive ever seen in upgraded fuel systems, is fuel pumps, fuel rails, injectors, and AFPR's.

yep. and even then, the OEM fuel rail is more than adequate. The fuel pump, and injectors have already been upgraded, and I have no need for AFPR's due to my ECU tune..
I guess I'll just get an OEM filter just to say the filter's been replaced. It's currently got over 300K kms

DON'T DO IT!
I bought that exact filter for mine, and boy was it a bad idea. The POS started leaking after less than 1000 miles. Plus, it uses a metal screen as the filter element, which doesn't block much of anything. The gas that was getting past the leak was filthy. Complete waste of money.
