im not expert in turbo or anything. but i do own a 71 beetle. here's a link of a turboed beetle in ipoh.

i dont think turboed beetles need intercooler. but u need to change the air filter (the stock wont work) probably get the mushroom type. carburetor needs tuning. or better still,get a webber carb.
cons : takes a lot of space. wont get a high boost. engine lifespan probably reduced.

why dont try twin carb instead? and probably get a webber carb? thats a better solution?
