Then again, that's all probably a huge waste of time and you should rather implement an engine misting feature which lightly mists the engine to shed more heat
Unfortunately, the DME controls both the coolant fans and the engine bay fan, which is why they are so hard to alter the on/off temperatures. But because they are controlled this way, a Porsche diagnostic tool can test and even activate them at a keystroke, which makes trouble shooting a bit easier.
