actually a very inelegant soln, and supports what jfp said if you read the conclusions at the end of the article where he removes the unit - very little room, air/oil is inefficient, and 986S (996) oem air/water cooler a better soln. also note the opportunity for/consequence of leaks once you start bringing the oil external of the engine.

re oiling, i do not think there is one silver bullet. you could decide that without slicks you won't be generating enough g-force to cause starvation, and pop your engine. or, you could put in a 2 litre x51-baffled sump and an accusump and ... pop your engine.

oil temp is a great place to start. still concerned? then replace the oil pressure switch on your engine with a vdo combo pressure switch/sender unit and rig up an oil pressure gauge. you can track temps to by replacing the rear driver head plug (diagonally opposite the pressure sender) with a temp sender and a temp gauge (get a DIN two 52mm gauge plate and install in place of one of the cubbies in your car). watch your temps to see if you need more cooling, watch your pressure in sweeping, banked turns to see if you need sump baffling, accusump, etc.
