Any suggestions on how to clean out the cooling system short of removing everything?

Yikes! Agreed that your woes are not over. Impeller grenade fragments have lodged themselves in every nook and cranny of your cooling system. Hard to say at this point whether it was chicken or egg (failed rod or failed impeller) that went first. Was your replacement water pump a factory Porsche part or aftermarket?
