Since so much in this discussion appears to hinge on the above number, how was it arrived at? My gut feeling, it seems low?

I'm going to sit on my numbers for awhile.
The official cooling system data is available from Porsche, online.
I reverse-engineered my final estimate using efficiencies from scattered sources.
For anyone actually interested in the topic, I'd like them to work with what they have, and we can compare numbers after.
There is no 'right' answer. Just 'guestimates.' 'Ballpark figures.'
The concept of the thread is the point I wanted to make. Not absolute numbers.
