New Air to Water Intercooled Turbo Beetle Intake Build!

Today we are reworking the intake yet again, and setting git up for an air to water intercooler. Still using a single 48mm throttle body from TheDubShop, and all piping fabricated using all 2" stainless tubing.

Where are you thinking to run your heat exchanger and water hoses running to it? Perhaps that will be in your next episode. 👍🙂

[@vee_dub_nut]

I’ll run a heat exchanger to the right side of the transaxle (mirroring my current external oil cooler), Bosch pump and ice box/reservoir in the package tray. And yes, a video to follow soon(ish)!

I love the project and i have so many questions
I live in egypt and i own a 74 bug.
Just wanted to know if i can make this turbo setup without upgrading the internals of the engine like the crankshaft.
Will it hold the turbo boost or it will get completely destroyed.
I saw many vids about turbochargering this car but i like ur clean work and i would like to have some help from a pro like u

[@vee_dub_nut]

You can certainly turbocharge a stock engine, you’ll just have a lower limit on how far you can push the engine and how much power you can make. There are some impressive mild 1600 turbo setups out there. It’s a great way to get your feet wet with boost too.

@@vee_dub_nut will i feel the difference in tourqe or its better to swap a golf 1 engine?
