Hi Marcel,
Yes, you have valid concerns. I've been doing some thinking on this and right now I'm postponing any thoughts of actually installing an oil cooler for my Gearbox. It seems that for the 930 Porsche box, several people are advising me that unless I do serious racing (which I am not) then I really don't need an oil cooler on the box at all, just a vent pipe.
If I do install it, it will not be facing down onto the vent hole, but upright. Therefore the air would be doing a 90 degree turn to get into the car, then another 90 degree turn into the cooler, then out the back of the car through the rear grille. I think this would be sufficient to catch any gravel if I installed the right sort of mesh/grille as any speeding debrit will hit the vent first, then the mesh/grille, and hopefully that would be enough.
If I progress with it, then of coarse I'll post pics and progress.
Happy New Year to you too.
