Unfortunately, trying to turn a pi around a corner fails because one of the necessary eaters would be in the path of the pi-heptominoes:

There is a relatively small p30 shuttle in this rule that David Eppstein used to make a p30 gun back in 2001 (note, this gun also works in B3/S2378):

The p10 is probably unnecessarily large.
