Shroud
I'm looking at the FAT setup only because it requires no machining to the case (from what I have heard). It means the fan will sit 41mm higher on the case. Also, they are in the States...I don't want to pay overseas shipping.
Alex mentioned that I might have to cut a slot in my decklid to clear the fan.
I've got an issue of Volksworld (Mar 99) with a blue GL with a twin turbo 1.8L type 4. If you look at the rear decklid, you can see a half moon slot cut out...its tough to see because he moved his licence plate up to cover it...but its there.
In Keith Seume's book VW Beetle, the New custom handbook, on pg 69 and 81 there is a maroon beetle with a type 4 and porsche fan with the same slot cut out to clear the fan...again its not noticable because the licence plate has been moved up.
I'm looking into this further...going to order the FAT catalog...I don't mind cutting that little slot in my decklid if it means I don't have to machine the case. In the future, If I need another case, it means I could sell the old one because it is stock...no machining to the breather.
