Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 3.4L has the LN 0.5 quart spacer with x51 baffles and 997 pickup tubes. If I put a larger capacity spacer in will I need to adjust the pick up tube length? In theory this would be an easy swap but I'm not trying to risk an engine on a theory. Thanks Shawn

POST 2Original post

The two quart LN sump kit I have has a (deeper) pickup extension.

POST 3Original post

The pickup comes with the spacer doesn't it??

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I found a great thread outlining the mantis sump extension, which doesn't come with any longer pickups. However the LN 0.5 quart extension currently on my car does have the extensions. Problem solved. Thanks Shawn

You're propagating incorrect information. Mantis' website clearly states and shows that their deep sump kit #1 it comes with a pickup extending spacer, kit # 2 stated it also comes with one (despite not showing it in the pic). I installed the Mantis sump a few years ago and can confirm that mine included a pickup spacer. I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Source: http://www.mantissport.ca/ProductPor...4/Default.aspx

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I appreciate the information and clarification. I bought my boxster with the 3.4L swap and a 0.5 LN sump spacer installed, so I wasn't sure what I needed. I did end up buying the mantis 1.5L sump spacer and it does come with the space for the pick up tube. I was misunderstanding the pickup tube design. This thread helped my visualize what I was getting into and needed. https://www.planet-9.com/reviews/cay...extension.html Shawn

All good! I just know how it feels to be a business on the wrong side of incorrect info that keeps propagating online haha
