I'm asking for a friend... Actually this is a theoretical question only, I'm not really thinking about doing this.
Has anyone converted the Super Beetle moon-shaped air inlets behind the rear quarter panels to route cool air to the engine compartment? I know I've seen engine-swapped beetles with air intakes in plexiglass rear quarter windows. But for a stock engine, if you wanted to use a non vented deck lid, could you get enough air through the side vents if you put scoops on them? I'm intellectually curious if this has been done and what internal modifications would need to have been made. I"m putting a new gas tank in my '71 super and will be trying to resurrect the dual carbs this winter, hoping to have it on the road again next year. It's been off the road due to both a catastrophic transaxle failure and a near catastrophic valve failure since 2008. Life happens. Fingers Crossed and I hope everybody is staying safe and sane out there.
