On a car this light with near stock power levels is it possible to overcool the rotors with a ducting on a BBK to the point where race pads will not reach their MOT on track.
The GT3 ducts are undoubtedly functional on our cars as well as 911's and Caymans. Lots of Porsche guys use them as upgrades, see:

They mount on the control arms on the Porsches the same way a few others here have mounted them and used zip ties for security. You end up with the same angle of attack that both applications have and you direct the mass of air in the wheel wells at speed to the rotors.
Just looking at the photos posted here from this perspective
...and then looking at the Porsche forum thread full of pics of these, I see no differences. They will work. To what measureable degree? Who knows. All I know is that for 30 bucks I'm not going to let all that air go to waste and fly past my control arms
