i thought that but i mean .. this thing is tinnyyyyyy?
its not as wide as the plate, and only comes out a bit at the bottom... got 2 small pipes comming out of it... if it where an intercooelr... its in a really crap spot ... it would get no air with the platei n the way ... ill see if its tehre 2 moz and take a photo..

Oil Cooler
Many racing & Rally beetles have the oil cooler under the front bumper...

u couldnt run an intercooler on the front
u'd have no boost left by the time it got the back LOL
putting remote coolers over the fan intake was a dodgy practice mainly offroaders did 20 years ago
all it did was preheat the cooling air on engines that were already struggling with massive mud tyres
if its not an oil cooler the other thing its likely to be is a tranny cooler
or one other possiblity but higly unlikely is a/c condensor
but theyre pretty hefty insize compared to oil coolers

the only thing wrong with the cooler being there behind the shroud is you will be pulling very hot air into the fan whitch is trying to get cool air many a bug head has suffered the cook cook cooking outcome of this fitup
but good luck
