Cloudsurfer,

Perhaps he means replacing the Porsche crimped connectors with AN fittings, there had been several Caymans that had been modified with a cooler installed on the low pressure side of the system, some at the exit of rack (front) and other right before the pump (rear).

The pump gets removed, tapped and gets AN fittings, on the front I believe that you tap into the low pressure side of the rack (not 100% sure), and install the AN fitting with the hose to the cooler.

There is an interesting article (with pictures) written by Krokodil at the Cayman club (AKA Planet-9) with pictures, I have seen this car and the installation is top notch, however it was designed for a dual use car, however now it's dedicated track car and so far this mod has been reliable for almost three years...
