EMPI Fan Shrouds
EMPI offers fan shrouds with an integrated "doghouse" style oil cooler for 1300-2332cc, Type 1 based air-cooled VW engines. These dog-house-style fan shrouds have a painted black finish, come without the heater duct connections, and feature nine internal, air directional baffles to ensure proper airflow over the engine.
