I know this had been tried 7+ years ago, I was wondering if since then has anyone done a watercooled conversion and not put the radiator in the front trunk?

Yes. Boxsters have two small ones and boxster S's have a third in the middle hence the small extra opening in the front bumper.
Check out the Neo914 build, he uses those radiators |

Correct, every water cooled porsche has had the radiator up front. They are however very efficient with radiator design in relation to the front bumper and hiding it well so they allow for as large a trunk as possible. |
