Default Tap stock oil pan or buy an aftermarket one?

Are you turbo guys just tapping your stock pan for the oil feed and return or what after market ones are you running? I was going to tap my stock pan but now I'm thinking about going with a deep pan. But I'm not looking to spend 6-800 on a pan. Also are they using the stock pick up tube or one that moves it farther back? I'm guessing farther back would be ideal for launching the car

I just welded a -10AN fitting onto the pan where I needed it. If the pan is aluminum this is a pretty easy job if everything is clean.

Same here. I had the motor out of the car so I brought the pan and a -10AN fitting to a guy that could weld aluminum.
