And I have had my sump plate off twice and it was not cracked like that at all.

I believe it is aluminum so I don't think it would cause any magnetic debris.

A new cover is fairly expensive I believe ($175? or some ridiculous amount), maybe you can get one from Woody or someone parting out a Boxster with a blown motor.

The FVD pan is *very* nice and sharp, also Mantis includes a bottom piece if you go mantis.

If you want to upgrade the baffle I have an EBS stainless X-51 baffle (for $100) I removed when I went to a 2 QT deep sump. The baffle worked well but as I am improving and moving to r-comps I wanted to have more protection (and I got a killer deal on the LN 2 QT deep sump that includes a version of that same baffle or else I would have kept it)
