Standard Bug tranny is good for around 200Hp so it depends on how you thrash/Drive it.
As for the radiator, Its usually easy to find two spaces for two small radiators with electric fan cooling.

that should be bad news for all the hi-po trans builders out there...
More like 150hp any thing over that trashes the diff.
It can be trashed with 70-80 hp too...I know I did.. lol It's a matter of how you drive it.
Don't powershift, don't launch it off red lights, don't try to do burnouts, and it should last.

Jan there are always exceptions to the rules and when it comes to VW's, you seem to cover them all :o)

I am putting an Alfa Romeo engine in my 73 super beetle.
I am going to place the radiator in the rear pacel shelf area:
