Accusump needed?

Ran into an issue at the track this weekend. Hard down hill braking into a hard left hander and back on the gas generated a nice cloud of oil smoke. For subsequent laps I reduced speed and throttle through the turn to stop it. From what I'm reading this could be caused by oil starvation and the solution is installing an accusump. The car is a 2003 2.7, I'm running R888 tires and has a oil pan extender.
And, the AOS was replaced last fall for the 2nd time.

Does this sound right? Has anyone installed an accusump and any pointers? LN Engineering has a kit but are there other options?

Thanks!

Dave
