911 engines don't have a windage tray.
My first reaction is that you probably don't need it on a dry-sump /4, but to be fair, I have no experience with dry-sump Type IV engines.

but also no experience
Primarily for wet sump engines to keep oil from being picked up by the spinning crank creating parasitic drag (loss of HP).
On the race cars, we ran a windage tray along with a crank scraper.

Don't bother. Especially on a dry sump, where there is no oil in the sump.
