Subject:"windage tray"

I was told of a beast called a windage tray.  I might be spelling it wrong,
but maybe someone can point me in the right direction.  My understanding is
that it is a tray that replaces your oil pan gasket and has metal bands that
come very close to the bottom rotations of the crank shaft, purpose being to
"shear" off excess oil from the shaft, slightly increasing HP.

I'm trying to milk every extra HP out of this new 1.6L diesel.  Has anyone
used one? know where to get it?
