I cut through the firewall between engine bay and trunk and have my short ram intake mounted there. It's hot in there though, and my intake temps on a NA setup are over 100F.

The OEM fan only comes on as a secondary cool down measure - it pulls air into the engine bay after shutdown if the compartment exceeds a specific temp. It's kinda silly and a lot of guys gut theirs (including myself). Others have wired the fan to a switch so they can run it on cool down laps.

If you're worried about a fan, I would probably think about cutting it not the engine bay cover and mounting them there.

And no, there are no Porsche SSPs. I agree that those documents are phenomenal and always wondered why Audi made them but Porsche didn't.
