Default JWT / OBX oil spacer or HKS / APS oil pan

I have a low mount turbo setup. The HKS kit i had used 16mm ID hose from turbo drain to the HKS oil pan shown here

HKS




Pros: Baffle mesh plate, cooling fins
Cons: It has no internal director plates like the KLS does and no oil pick up spacer, uses hose fitting instead of AN fitting.


I will be selling my HKS kit and therefore need to buy another pan or spacer for myself.

I have this option from Australia,
KLS "HKS copy"







Pros: Oil director channels to keep oil near pick up, cooling fins
Cons: no mesh baffle , no oil pick up spacer, uses hose fitting instead of AN fitting.

Or JWT / OBX oil pan spacer

Pros:
Oil pick up spacer, AN fitting for oil return
Cons: No baffle, no internal channels, no cooling fins

Now the Boosted Performance kit uses oil pan spacer but Sasha does not have the australian KLS oil pan which is as cheap as the oil spacer..

So thoughts? Do i keep the HKS and buy a KLS to sell with the kit.
Buy the KLS for my self
Buy oil pan spacer OBX or JWT ??

I have no oem oil baffle plate btw like this

Can't you change the HKS hose fitting to AN? I would keep the HKS.


Also, the oil return line is low pressure. Not much need for AN anyhow, other than cosmetic.
