I can confirm that this pan is causing issues with oil backing up into the turbo due to not draining correctly. I filled my car with oil until it read dead center between the 2 dots on the dipstick, and when I removed the turbo drain line from the pan (to diagnose my excessive exhaust smoking and oil in the downpipe) over a quart came gushing out. The return hole on the pan, when the car is filled to satisfy the dipstick, is BELOW the oil line. The dipstick reading is no longer accurate with this pan when using the return port. I ran a supercharger for 4 years with this pan with no issues but that's because Rotrex superchargers dont use engine oil so I never had this problem.
