My 04 is sadly out of warranty, but it does mean i get to turbo it. I have that issue where the oil-low light comes on although the oil level isn't low, especially after taking a hard turn or hard braking.
The TSB calls for a replacement oil pan + sensor assembly, all one part for $153.
If I instead get the GReddy oil pan, will this also solve the issue?

Also, does the Greddy pan already have a fitting for the oil return line from the turbo?

The photos in the below thread should help a bit. With the extra oil the Greddy pan holds I doubt that light will be an issue.

Cool. Looks like the sensor assembly is moved over from the original, but I think the point of the TSB was to get an updated pan. So I guess it will resolve the TSB.

Raceroots doesn't seem to list that pan any longer.
