No cavitation issues in my car. I am not an expert and only offering this up as an idea to be discussed. I have seen filters on the suction side before but not stock street cars. I also warm the car up to 140 or so oil temp before putting the foot into it. with 2 964 coolers with good air flow the temps never go beyond the thermostat cracking point. O-berg is almost 6 inches in dia.
Thanks.. Im gonna keep scanning the various websites.. I just hate to reduce the diameter of that hose.. Porsche usually does things for a reason.. it may work fine but I wont sleep at night knowing I altered their design without good research..


EDIT: Im just thinking back to my GT1 race car again.. I had a drysump on a big v8 but 2 of the morosos were scavange.. effective size similar to the size on my little porsche!
