Turner DCT oil pan?

Trying to order one or two for my DCT babies. What do y'all think about the Turner DCT oil pan (or others like Fall Line, Slon, etc.)?

I've had my Slon for a few years now. Zero issues. I don't even need to think about it anymore or worry about leaks. To me the Slon is the best compromise of billet alu with a bit of additional capacity while still allowing me to use the gearbox undertray.

Fall Line pan is fine so far. But fix one leak in the DCT gearbox and two more show up. Stupid thing just loves to wear its pentosin on the outside.

Same here. My three Slon deep aluminum DCT fluid pans with lowered pickup have performed great on street and track. The added 1 L of DCT fluid from the Slon aluminum pan + additional 1 L of DCT fluid from the GTS fill tube extension + additional ~0.6 L of DCT fluid in the do88 large DCT cooler really keeps DCT temperature down. This alone justifies the price of the Slon deep aluminum pan. The Slon deep DCT aluminum pan is the best option available IMO.

Oh yeah. +1 on the lowered pickup. Only Slon does that.
