Re: Oil Pan w/ baffles vs VW Motorsport Windage tray?

["Andy Holmes" <scalainj@hotmail.com>]

Hi

I've just picked up a Schrick aluminium baflled/finned sump and a windage 
plate for my 1.8l 8v inj DX as i suffer from quite serious oil surge on 
tight right handers/high rev corners which tends to equate to on track and 
larger roundabouts resulting in the large quantity of oil being dumped into 
the airbox followed by big clouds of smoke on the exit.

You can use both and the shop i use recommends both (for my driving anyway 
;-))

I haven't put them on yet but when i do i'll post what i think.
