I did a search and did not find the answer so I thought I would ask.

Does anyone know the inlet and outlet pipe diameters for the stock side mount Intercooler on a 1998 tdi beetle?

... None :S
If the Beetle is the same as a Golf, the internal diameter is 55mm, and the diameter of the barb is 65mm.

Inlet and outlet are the same.

I think I still have my OEM intercooler and pancake pipe tucked away somewhere. Are you working on larger piping for your Beetle?

Thank you!!!

I bought my car used and I am just putting together the correct pieces for the turbo boost system.

The previous owner put together custom assorted pieces. The custom piece they had made going from the turbo to the side mount intercooler developed a leak created by a poor mechanic, that now claims no responsibility.

I need to do all the work myself.

I need a car lift.

Does anyone know of an a small car lift?

The jack that's in the truck and a floor stand. Honestly all I needed when I rebuilt a friend's NB
