Hard cornering T4 Bug - Oiling

[MattKab]

I'm preparing to assemble a T4 for my Beetle. I can get my oil light (healthy 1.6 T1) on by cornering tight. I try not to which impeads the thrill.

I never want to lose the OP in my T4.

The T4 deep sump kits look almost useless for my application, this is a real street car (high road tax, lot's of holes in road, lots of ramps in road, etc.) Stateside Tuning offer a 2-stage dry-sump pump for a measley £99. Also CSP offer one for €153.

I have a stock P914 oil pick-up tube/windage tray/4 seals, and I've read comments about 914 drivers 'getting the light on' whilst having 'good bearings' and also reference JR's mods to the 'tray..

Anybody got any news about these 'cheap' dry-sump pumps? Cheap as opposed to the ARP(?) 3-stage pump at £300.

Are these pumps cheap Chi-nee? Is the volume poor on the high pressure side? Iron bodied?

Help! time to buy..
