I was also worried about cooling, charging, and steering. See this thread below.

In my experience on my Boxster street car (before it was converted to a race car), the cooling system worked exactly the same in all conditions including 110F days in the desert. The charging system worked fine and there was no change in power steering feel. This is one of the very few street upgrades that do not seem to have a downside or tradeoff.
