I totally understand and if anybody has anything positive to say about TSR I'd gladly listen to them. My only problem with "sitting on the fence" is that others would then go through the same situation. I've kept records of all my dealings with Tsr including some hilarious emails and I take full responsibility for any comments I make.
That said, I don't want to upset anybody so if naming and shaming is not acceptable on here I've no problem if it gets deleted.

Has anybody used the Bug5Speed sump http://www.bugat5speed.de/en/kaefer-und ... ne-aluguss" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Looks pretty good, has baffles and i think it will work with the Rjes engine mount ?
E D I T- Just read a previous post that says it wont work with the Rjes mount, anybody know why not?
I was looking at that one too - can't see why it wouldn't fit.
I was going to take my old dented sump and have my local engineers make me a Burley style pan, the only other thing I need to consider is how much to shorten the pick up pipe

Also still got my mild steel Scooby exaust for a Turbo set up going if anyone wants it.
nice and quiet on tick over with a dirty bellow as you press on...

I've got both, tried shortening my own sump, was a total barsteward as I wanted to add wings for capacity & a well for cornering. Pick-up was a mare' as its at 45* and as you shorten you move pick-up point (not good when you've got a well!! ) but ended ok.
Also now got a Small-car cast sump (exhaust mounted off old PAS pump bracket) which does fit with RJES support bar.
I don't have the exhaust issues of most as I have the Turbo engine - well worth the fit as it's an absolute hoot to drive
had to beef up the mounts on my Rjes Bar though as it bent them away from the chassis
