Just got this HP-6 in for the 914-6 conv.
I'm going to mount it so that the return line from engine goes to the HP-6, to an oil T-stat, to front oil cooler, then back to oil tank. I talked to a few people and they seam to think that the HP-6 is to big for my use and said the HP-4 would be better. I know I've seen the HP-6 used on 914-6's ( 914 RS to name one ) so it must work. What do you guys think???? Luke Attached image(s)

Aren't filters usually on the pressure side of things? I have no dry sump experience, so maybe this is way off.. but it seems like if the filter starts to get clogged, and it's on the return side, it could lead to a dangerous buildup of oil in the sump due to the extra restriction. Common sense tells me that the return line should be as restriction free as possible.
