You can take it out and clean it or replace it, but keep it in there. If you take the screen out and deposits make it to the turbo you'll have a much bigger issue than if you leave it there and clean it periodically.

I'd still rather have unscreened oil going thru my turbo then my heads. Since its cheaper to replace the turbo then the heads.

But I do not run any screens so it doesn't matter.

Yeah I believe they took out the AVCS Filter on all models mid '05+.
