Ok guys ive been hearing from a couple of people that if you connect(i dont know if you have to cut a hole or not) the doghouse to the carb that it will work like a blower. What do you guys think? is it possible to gain hp by doing this, would it not cool the engine down like it should? the pro's and con's of it. I have a '73 super 1600. And also do they have a five speed standard trans for bugs?
mickey moused blower?

Nope. Won't work. Even if you didn't need the air cooling, the fan can't create enough pressure; it backs up. Tell those couple people they are full of it.
Does not work.
No.
You can adapt a Certain Porsche 5 speed, or buy a conversion kit from Gene Berg, which is not quite as strong. (you'd still be relying on stock VW parts in the rest of the transmission)
