Just get the magnet out... I can think of 37 different options to get it out without removing the pan. 4-5x of those options are already mentioned here. I personally would drill a larger hole in the pan, pull the magnet out and then block the hole with another magnet. Then reuse another magnetic oil plug. The more magnets the better. -
How f**ked am i? what would happen if i leave the magnet inside there?

I'll update you guys when i get home from work, im going to try to fish it out. I just realized that i can't even drop the oil pan. The whole front diff and axles are connected to the oil pan... is it even possible to drop the oil pan without taking out the motor?

So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that. Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.
