I am about to put in a deep sump (Mantis) and I am wondering if my 2000 3.2 engine already has the more desirable 996 sump return oil separators (apparently 997 models dont work as well)....sometimes called stir pots. I am trying to avoid needlessly buying them and waiting for delivery. If they already there I will need to be able to cut holes in the new windage tray to allow them to pass down into the sump.

If i do have them do I need to replace them??

This is all to stave off oil starvation of course
