AY! On a beetle, does overheating come quite easily?
Obviously, a beetle floorpan uses an aircooled engine.
However, because i intend on getting one in the future, how likely is it to overheat the engine. (Even if your really flooring it).
Are there any kits or forms of SUPER cooling that can be done? (Any radiator mods etc.)

69' baja: kombi box, thing spindles, irs, disc front, type 3 rear drums, 2 inch lift kit, 31x10 rears.
New engine in process: 94mm p&bs, 74mm C/w chomol Crank, 35.5x39 SP heads, turbo. Wierd combo, hopeful torque monsta!

A well tuned VW engine should rarely, if ever, overheat.
A VW (or any) engine thats worn out, rarely serviced and badly out of tune will be more likly to overheat
As for cooling, there are no radiator mods, because there is no radiator.
common mods for cooling are a dog house fan shroud (if you have an earlier engine), external oil cooler and most importantly a well tuned engine.
