Whoa...you're pulling the motor out of a very rare turbo GT to put it in a bug? Why not find a turbo motor from a turbo coupe or something for the bug and save the GT?

air/water IC's are fine...not really street oriented though. There are a million IC's on ebay, just get one that's the right size for your application (fits wherever you plan to put it).

the GT isnt in very good shape it needs atleast a driver fender and i dont know but maybe a D. door as there is a 6 inch gap at the top of the door and i dont know if the door is the prob or the roof???

cheap/easy ic setup would be to use an 87-88 TC intercooler with a small electric fan mounted on it. Keeps turbo from heating it up to much.

I'll trade you the gt for an 88 turbo coupe.

i do have an 87 TC sitting in a garage or at least whats left. Right now its just a chassis without the motor, trans, rear, wiring or computer. Not good for anything except body and interior parts at this point i guess. It will go to the junkyard at some point unless somebody wants parts off it.

Replacing a fender and door is well worth it to keep a GT350 alive and well.


Now I got an TC IC for 60.00 shipped and an Audi FMIC 100.00 shipped if you or anyone needs one.
