Deep Sump Kit - oil pick up extender?

[pstarkey]

Not sure if I should post this here or in the technical section but here goes.

 

I am new to Caymans and have recently purchased a 987 Cayman S 2006, plan to do a few track days so have been looking at a few mods including a deeper sump to prevent any oil starvation issues and ordered the Brey Krause kit from Porscheshop;

What I have been sent by them is this kit;

Anyone got any experience of fitting the kit I have been sent and if it needs the extender or not?  Don't want to risk oil pickup on this engine so need to get this sorted before fitting anything.

That's a baffled sump... Best "cheap"option to go for if doing a fair few track days imo (fit an Accusump if you have deeper pockets)

 

I had a baffled wet sump in my Fireblade engined MK Indy kit car which is a must if taking to the track...

 

Don't really think an extended pick-up is needed as the baffled sump is more about keeping the oil from "surging" which increases the chance of oil starvation due to cornering/braking G's...

@pstarkey I have the deep sump kit from Design 911 fitted to by Cayman and works a treat, I haven't seen the one from Porsche shop before so can't comment. So far its done 20+ track days on semi-sicks/high Gs and all is good. Just keep changing the oil regularly. The sump is a piece of cake to fit and only took a hour or so.
