Has anyone here bought a baffeled sump or made one them self? Cause I am currently weighing up weather its worth doing it or not. (It's going on a car that with be running around 300bhp)

I don't even know what that means. What is wrong with a normal sump?

please enlighten me too

It is a sump with baffles in it. The idea is to stop oil starvation on hard cornering.
I have a Jabbasport baffled sump.
What do you intend to do with your 300bhp? If you are going to be doing trackdays etc then it may be a good idea. If its just faster normal driving or straight launches, it may be a little overkill.
-
It's for track driving
(O and sorry I spelt it wrong Baffled*)
-
Far more likely to suffer from oil starvation problems on a long high g corner than straight line acceleration. My 20vt started knocking after suffering oil starvation on the track which was why I had to rebuild it. But on a normal gti the handling will be the first barrier before oil starvation.
-
If it is serious track driving and handling sorted, probably worth getting instead of risking it and ending up like rockmonkey did and needing a rebuild.
-
For serious / track use then yes it would be worth fitting.
-
Cheers lads
I'm in the middle of making up the baffles but they were pissing me off so I just wanted to make sure I needed them or not
-
Be more worried about oil temp than a baffled sump.
-
and be even more worried that your driving a money pit mk4 :grin:

haha, dont I know it!
