Same down here too on the SE, I know several that have removed the accusump. I'm not sure if I agree with it, since AZ986S videos and data seem to show to clearly show it helping.

In my case (2000 Boxster S with LN 2 QT Deep sump) what really seems to make the most difference (on top of this) is oil temperature. If I can keep it down around 200-205'ish F then the pressure fluctuations are greatly minimized, vs when the oil gets closer to 240F (as measured in the left hand valve cover).

A few weeks ago at Roebling when it was nice and cool outside, my oil pressure was solid, I'll see if I can get a video comparing when the oil is hotter.
