This guy had a large (for fender mount) finned oilcooler. So I suppose it's possible the the directed flow is better for something smaller. . . is your oil cooler the size of the directed flow opening?

Right. Basically, you want to maximize the number of fresh, less energetic atoms contacting the the oil cooler and moving away.
The problem with the scoop is that is replaces the wrong marker. The scoop should replace the front light, not the side one.
You do want the air stream directed onto the cooler without sacrificing the mass of incoming air.
If there is no stream onto the cooler then you get a maelstrom of excited, moderately warm atoms surrounding the cooler, repelling the cooler, incoming air. And you don't want that.
On the other hand, the inlet is much smaller than the opening it replaces which is clearly is a function of where the duct is placed. It should be right in front of the cooler(where the other parking light/blinker is).
Which is why you need a differently designed scoop to replace the front most marker light rather than the rear one.
I don't know which is the blinker, but in any case you don't NEED parkings lights, so just make the rear one your blinker and use a 964 style duct IN FRONT. This is why I don't have the black scoops.
