The fan pushes the air out. Plus I suspect that the wheel rotation would create a suction effect? Not sure though cause I don't think anyone has commented on airflow patterns in a wheel well...

Ducman has the cooler correct.
It is wired in with power taken from the ABS power line.
The hoses are 5/8" ID with a 250 psi pressure rating.
The install is pretty simple actually.

I think a clean heat exchanger is great, both inside and outside.
However, I don't think the factory shroud is that bad, and I think it's better than no shroud. The holes needed to match the flow rate thru the heat exchanger are surprising small, and I think the shroud makes some effort to keep large debris out. I am sure the shroud can be improved, but my experience is that - as far as the air flow planning goes - factory engineers were no dummies even in the 1980's.

Hi Ptuomov.
Agreed re deflecting debris. And I agree that '80's factory engineers were no dummies, same as 70's, '60's, ...... 30's etc.
Problem was cost panicked management (Projekt 928 in 90's) directing what will be.
As it happens, Porsche did acknowledge shortcomings re this area.
