Better oil pan

I am having the problem with the stock oil pan, because my turbo is sucking the oil from the oil pan and burnning it. I would like to know if there's anyone knows where to get the bigger or deeper oil pan, please let me know.

Thx

your turbo setup is installed incorrectly then. It should not be sucking oil out of the pan, but putting oil into it.

fix your setup, no more problem.

I may said it wrong, actually it's not sucking the oil up, it's just that the oil could not go to the oil pan fast enough so it went back up.

It sitll sounds like a setup problem. Make sure your return line goes into the pan high, and is straight enough to flow by gravity without collecting in the line.

size matters, you need 1/2" or more.

A bigger pan would have to be a custom job. You can use a WRX oil pan they have a lower baffle but there not bigger.
