When you want the baffles to close when turning, g-loads will close the baffles from the weight of oil pressing on them. So it wouldnt make a difference when it matters. Although, the reality of it is that the turbo return oil is not high velocity. It is generally pretty aerated low velocity oil and probably couldnt push the baffles open even if the car was sitting stationary. So while I dont agree with your concern at all, your concern does make me realize an alternate consideration. Maybe I will try and baffle the return area some to increase oil residency in the turbo return oil for the sake of improved aeration disposal. |

If you do decide you want to make it 2-tone like that by painting or powder coating and then sanding, let me know because you would want it un-anodized to start with. You wont want to have to sand through anodizing, its much harder than the aluminum and soaks into the surface as well. It would be a nightmare to sand through it!

I dont mean to be difficult with you, I am just trying to make sure that what arrives in your hands is what you were expecting!

My car is MB.....LOL I am good with whatever RED color comes out. A little darker is fine. I am not going to be that picky about it. Getting everything to color match is just about impossible. NO worries from me.

At any rate, I am sure pretty much any machine shop will take a shot at it for you. |

Forgot to mention that the location of the 2 recesses for removal are position with 2 overhangs of the upper pan, so these would be the easiest places to get a tool in there.

I like your changes. My Z is NA, therefore the turbo oiling holes are not required. Possible features to add: 1. Baffle flap inspection holes. 2. Raised baffle that also encloses the pickup more ala AM Performance. 3. Threaded holes for jam screws to remove pan. Last edited by jrb55gh; 05-31-2015 at 08:55 AM. |

One more feature request to evaluate: Fabricate the top horizontal plate baffle to overhang the outer edges of the vertical baffles in the pan by about 0.75" to help prevent oil from rolling over the top of the vertical baffles in high G turns. |
