There are lots of variations, that one I'm assuming has a take-off from the oil filter by using a sandwich plate?
Or is it the one where they knock a hole through the IMS and feed the bearing with oil through a hollow drive pin?
Of the two, I've not heard any horror stories about the first one, whereas with the second that drive pin can shear when it doesn't have a channel in it. It's often replaced with an aftermarket, theoretically higher quality steel part (sometimes made from a cut down Alan key, entertainingly).
