I try to get here early on Friday so they don’t lose the shop.

Had a red '65 Beetle back in the day. A girl in Ventura, Ca. wanted a ride to Santa Paula at 11 PM. We jumped on the Santa Paula freeway, and it took 5 minutes to finally hit 72 mph. 50 hp and 4-speed . BUT, I got a big kiss out of the deal at 17 years old .

I overthink everything and then don't get anything done. You guys just do it which I admire

Change the plugs to NGK B6HS plugs(one step colder than stock) and run your wastegate from the outlet on the turbo, if it's more boost than you want run the boost controller. That's what has always worked for us with our bugs. We usually run a t25 or t3 turbo, but looking at the specs of the fiat turbo they seem to be similar.

A Chinese copy of an Italian auto part screams ultimate reliability

This is like an ideal Stay Tuned project to me. Declan's resume is going to look insane when he tries to describe what he learned here. No rush on that, btw 😉

Rebuilt everything on my 70 when I was 18. Trust me when I say you gotta ditch the shiftomatic and go with a normal 4 speed. They’re so easy to swap out and the extra gear/control is 100% worth it.

I have owned over a dozen bugs. My best one was a turboed 2400cc and went 10.6 in 1/4 mile. I owned a bunch of type 4 Porsche powered ones as well.

That’s my favourite thing about your channel and your crew Tony you never know what kind of random car you’re going to see but it’s always a hoot! Cheers boys keep on getting after it!

@josephratliff419 2 months ago

If you bought a 4 into 1 header the installation would’ve been way easier but watching y’all do your thing was great! Can’t wait for the next video to drop! Always entertaining! Love you guys!

@chabelodeleon5615 2 months ago

Bro I was sad when Tony said that they'll be getting rid of the bug, but turboing thst thing was the right move, well done you guys ! Awesome pick

@notsure6674 2 months ago

The fact that Tony absolutely loves this VW is awesome. The smiles on all of you cruising is priceless. "Yeah buddy, it's always full throttle" should be a slow cars driven fast T-shirt

Idk why, but turbo flatties just hit right.

Now you need to do a VW bus transmission swap and a wide body kit

YES, Friday night and the boys are working on the Bug!

When your had 5 big guys in it zipping around and laughing you reminded me of my high school days. That's the exact way I remember VW beetles.

I’m a newer subscriber to the channel in last few months. Just binged the Lincoln series last few days and just finished them up. Perfect timing. Been going back and watching pretty much every video over last few months, fellas love whatchu do, awesome channel. Not always extravagant super expensive projects. Actually relatable and attainable stuff for people. The turbo 6 cylinder trucks make me wanna get one. Thank you.
