It came from a quality supplier ok'd by some of the top tuners My advice is buy one from turbosystems mate fook the cost as it will protect a Ł10k + engine !!!!!! My new sump will be done by tony regardless of cost as its way cheaper than the consequences of engine failure

Zee Germans are coming
I'd be going back to the supplier of the gate with the engine in bits and say best put the kettle son
If that's caused engine to fail then I'd want it payed for simple

A bit like those top mounts Mike R was producing and those zoo rear beams.......people really dont realise it takes more than an idea to produce something proven and SAFE, i guess they use the "in theory" method.

I cant comment on flannigans although its clear to see its failed where its most important..
With riches (sonic boom)i can say that the welds are shit and its a very poorly made bit of kit as i did see this first hand..
There is no need to re invent the wheel when it comes to these gated baffles as like iv said before the ones iv used for many years are fine and never seen or heard of any trouble..
They are also not dear to buy.. also to flannigan..id say theres nothing wrong with your actual sump mate just been very unlucky with the gates on the baffle..
cheers danny
