Cody et al.,
I don't really see any need to use cross-drilled rotors for a street
application. 993tt rotors crack under stress, I've seen this on several
cars more than once. IMHO, it is a heat management issue, although Mark
was correct in that 993tts also crack their rotors, so it's not just
drilled rotors on Audis that crack.

Personally, I'd go with a slotted setup w/o the drilled holes, as I
don't
like having rotors that crack.

Because of the intercooler and turbo plumbing, I don't know how
difficult
it would be to install brake cooling ducts, but this is something that
needs
to be explored for track use.
