That line is a coolant return line from AOS if I remember it right. It is tiny in diameter to start with. I doubt it has any effect on cooling whatsoever.

Looks like a perfect day for an AC cruise. I need to get mine out on the road again...speedy rear.jpg
At the moment, I have an air cooled 996. As of tomorrow (new radiator install), that will no longer be the case.
Interesting side note: I ran into a friend at Cars & Coffee yesterday, who told me that he had just replaced that stupid little plastic coolant fitting on his 996 — the one that everyone breaks when replacing an alternator or oil fill tube. He used a brass hose-barb splicer from Home Depot. What is interesting is that he is convinced that his car runs a fair amount cooler after the repair than it did before.
He’s a pretty analytical guy, so I’m inclined to believe him. He had the old, broken fitting with him, and it definitely looks like it would be a choke point for coolant flow. Could be something, could be nothing — but interesting nonetheless.
That's a very interesting observation. I'd like to see the two (ID) side by side.
