Default Do I need a deep sump, pre-taped oil pan for my turbo setup? *thinkin about an obx one*

Or will the stock one, custom tap'd work perfectly fine?

Anyone have an OBX oil pan and have any vouches for it's quality?

Get your stock pan tapped.

Do you have a link to the OBX pan?

Still I'd stay OEM. But I'd get another OEM pan too. So when/if you ever take the turbo off you don't have to seal off the tap or cork it. You'll always be set not having to do work over and over on the same pan.
