Who has the aftermarket option in the works? I have a friend who had this thing fail on a road course, he's planning on getting a custom fabricated solution.

But the part didn't change for 08.... so you purchased an 08?

Moroso is supposedly making one in addition to their higher capacity oil pan they have been sandbagging on for nearly a year.

Prototype aluminum oil pan. Pictures! - Factory 2.5L Turbo Powertrain - NASIOC

If mine breaks, I can see SOA denying because of my Cusco motor mounts and their inherent increase in vibrations. BS but try to disprove it.

EDIT: Topspeed is selling the Moroso pan: http://www.iwsti.com/forums/engine-p...ps-turbos.html

$670 is a bit steep for just an oil pan. It's not even made by ARC!

They sell a pan for a chevy ls1 for that is bigger and comes with a pickup for $10 more. apples to oranges but you're getting more for nearly the same price.

I dont think he was talking about the pick-up tube.... more like he had alot of miles on his car and was worried that it would have problems soon.
