[urq] Oil Filter Question

[AF]

I am in the process of converting my V8 UrQ from oil/water cooling which
was stock on the ABZ to a separate dedicated air/oil cooler. I am using a
GReddy oil filter housing with built in thermostat. The larger oil filters
I use on the 1.8t in my 2004 A4 fit perfectly on this housing and the the
seal seems to line up with the oil filter housing. My question is this....
will the 1.8t filter (Mann or Mahle OEM) be capable of handling the ABZ oil
flow and/or pressure? I know nothing about oil filter requirements except I
know it fits, and I imagine different filters have different flow rates.
There is no "OEM" cannister oil filter for the ABZ because it has a paper
filter type deal in a dedicated aluminum housing. Any thoughts are greatly
appreciated.
