Huge Smoke Screen From My Boxster At a Track Day

[Gelbster]

It seems as if the oil is leaking past/over the baffles and starving the oil pick-up tubes ?
If one of the hinged baffles was hanging up ,this is exactly the result that would occur.
Others have reported some mods required to fit the EBS baffle and avoid this and other issues. Did you check this?

You might investigate "horizontal baffle" also. Tarret/Pedro/Technosump have that as part of their deep sump kit. If positioned correctly, it is very effective.

The EBS baffle fit with no problem in the area that the original poster had to trim. In the three years since that was posted EBS probably changed it. That said, I did have to do some trimming with a Dremel along the bottom to get it to fit perfectly. Once I got it mounted on the sump plate properly, I did check to make sure the hinged plates moved without any interference.

I'll investigate the horizontal baffle.
